About Direwood
In a late-1990s suburb plagued by blood rain, unnatural fog and parasitic caterpillars, sixteen-year-old Aja’s seemingly perfect sister Fiona disappears. A hypnotic vampire named Padraic lures Aja into the woods, where enthralled teenagers serve monsters inside an abandoned church crawling with blood-sucking butterflies. With one week to escape, Aja must find Fiona, rally the other captives and destroy the creatures before she joins them.
