THE LAST PLACE
A woman delves into the forest of her own mind to solve an impossible mystery when her family disappears during a stop at a highway rest area.
Bewildered and desperate to find them, Caroline sets off into the surrounding woods, but fragmented memories of past tragedies and unrealistic expectations start to pierce her psyche and blur the lines between then and now. As she is drawn deeper into the forest, both her mind and the wilderness yield clues leading her closer to solving the mystery, but with each encounter - hunters, animals, the river, a cabin in the middle of nowhere - the truth becomes more unspeakable. Caroline begins to realize her family may not have been so perfect, or maybe it's her who hasn't been so perfect, as each step into the forest accesses the places in her mind where she has hidden her darkest truths.
With more and more of her life before that day coming into focus, including a dead baby girl and a downward spiral into alcoholism and despair, Caroline slowly remembers that the last place she saw her family alive may not have been at the rest stop at all. Face to face with the truth about what lead to their deaths, Caroline makes a final choice to remain in the perfect world she's created for herself, even if it means ruining someone else's.
