After their father’s death, three estranged siblings reunite in their hometown to scatter his ashes at a secluded stretch of river that held special meaning for him. However, when their boat breaks down, leaving them stranded far from help and without cell service, what was supposed to be a final farewell turns into a nightmare.
As they struggle to survive, the siblings discover they are being hunted by a faceless killer who has emerged from the woods. To escape, they must put aside their long-standing grievances and work together against a relentless enemy.

The cast of River (2026) includes Jane Levy (Evil Dead), Jessica Rothe (the Happy Death Day franchise), and Max Mattern (Cape Fear). They play estranged siblings who reunite after their father’s death and find themselves fighting for survival during a trip to a remote river.
