Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion. This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world. In 2015, Beer expanded internationally with the establishment of branches in South America and other countries, including “United Rescue” in Jersey City, USA, where the response time was reduced to just two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Following more than twenty years of conflict, a pair of brothers come to terms, putting aside the troubles of their past, and both families jump at the chance to spend the summer together in the mountains of Pennsylvania. At first glance all seems pleasant and benign, but there are secrets lurking about the small town, talk of foul cults and human sacrifice. The locals largely consider this nonsense, even with a handful of disappearances over the years and several unexplained deaths. Yet, there are those who believe, individuals who are prepared to do whatever it takes to rid their home of this darkness, an evil that is more ancient and powerful than they imagine.

Michelle wakes screaming, the dreams and visions having taken their toll, breaking her spirit. She demands they cut the vacation short and leave immediately, only no one can find Brooke. The family separate to search for her.
The Allun, a bat-like creature summoned into this world, enters the Joyce residence late at night, traveling through the shadows, and traces a symbol on Elizabeth's forehead.
While celebrating Elizabeth's sixteenth birthday, Michelle learns that Donald and Justin had a sister, long deceased, and that Justin and Suzie had a second daughter, also dead. Their descriptions are that of the two dream guides.
Mrs. Williams, her son Kirk, and the other core members who had sworn to destroy the cult are meeting to discuss what to do. One of them, Albert, manages to identify the cult by comparing its activities to an all but forgotten faith. This long dead religion held its ceremonies underground.
Reading the book she acquired in the antique store. Elizabeth learns about the original races, including one of true evil which had been defeated and imprisoned.
Kirk informs his mother that another woman was found dead, apparently after giving birth. Yet, the doctors are positive that she was never pregnant. It makes little sense, but he believes it is related to the cultists they have been pursuing.
Michael’s efforts to woo Julie fail miserably. Michelle has yet another dream, different in that the original dream guide has been joined by a companion of similar age.
Michael hitches a ride into town with his mother and aunt in order to visit Julie, a close friend of his cousin Jennifer. After they part ways, Mrs. Williams spots the two women and confronts them in the street, publicly accusing them of being responsible for the death in the forest.
During a hunting trip in the mountains with his cousin Zach, Donald's oldest son Michael is given a demonstration of the other's cruelty. At the same time, a state trooper, Kirk the son of Mrs. Williams, is following up on a lead. He discovers the body of a woman who had been missing for several weeks deep within the forest.…
Heading into town with Justin's wife Suzie, Elizabeth and Brooke visit an antique store where Elizabeth finds herself drawn to an old book about the occult, which she decides to purchase.
