An old woman with dementia walks off into the woods in the middle of the night. She's drawn to a campfire where two strange, dangerous men sit plotting a crime of as-yet-indeterminate purpose. The men are hunting something precious but have only been told: You'll know it when you see it. When they arrive at the place, an abandoned church cellar in the burned-out countryside, they find an answer they never could have predicted.
