Tristan plans to propose to his girlfriend Naomi, but the night turns nightmarish when she stages an attack and frames him for abuse. After his release from jail, he returns to an empty home—Naomi gone, his dog missing, and his life in shambles. Spiraling into isolation and paranoia, Tristan becomes convinced a malevolent entity—“The Silicant”—is stalking him. As his brother and brother-in-law try to intervene, Tristan’s grip on reality fractures. Together, they confront the supposed creature in a fiery showdown. But when the dog returns and the smoke clears, the question remains: was the true monster outside… or within?
