Some great secrets just can't be kept.

Pete is a boy left alone in the forests of the Pacific Northwest after a car accident. With no adults around and night closing in, he must find a safe place before the cold and exhaustion overwhelm him. The terrain is unfamiliar, and every step takes him farther from any known path. As he tries to survive, the boy finds himself cornered in the thick woods, with one goal: to get to safety. Directed by David Lowery, the film brings this boy to life with Oakes Fegley in the lead role, and from the very first moment it raises a simple question: how do you survive when no one is coming to look for you?
