He flies to Summersisle, a remote island off the Washington coast, where he discovers a way of life time has forgotten. A seemingly idyllic, pastoral community, the people of Summersisle are wary of strangers but nothing on the mysterious island is what it appears.

"We're different here." Policeman Edward Malus doesn't know just how terrifyingly different the people of Summersisle are, but he will. He's come to the private island to find a missing child. And each step of his search draws him deeper into a web of pagan ritual and deadly deceit -- and closer to The Wicker Man.

Nicolas Cage plays Malus, Ellen Burstyn portrays the eerie matriarch Sister Summersisle, and Neil LaBute writes and directs this shattering tale of an unspeakable horror. Weary and increasingly on edge, Malus faces a defiant, unfamiliar world where his badge and gun mean nothing... and his presence on the isle means everything. It is the Day of Death and Rebirth on Summersisle. No one can escape.
