The trailer opens to Richard (Richard Armitage) informing his children, Aidan (IT‘s Jaeden Martell) and Mia (Lia McHugh), of his intent to marry his new girlfriend, Grace (Riley Keough). Hence, in an effort to bond, the family visits a remote winter cabin. However, things get awkward when Richard abruptly leaves for work and the kids are left alone with Grace. As both sides attempt to bond amidst a snow blizzard, inquisitive children discover Grace’s past as the childhood survivor of a suicide cult. The tension evolves when Grace’s childhood trauma threatens to resurface. [caption id=“attachment_6595601” align=“alignnone” width=“827”] Riley Keough in a still from the trailer.
