THE POND tells the story of a group of life-long friends who travel to a remote lake house to celebrate their terminally ill friend, but they are horrified when they discover she's become a vessel for a predatory parasite that threatens to infect the entire group. Jake and his wife Hope, who has recently fallen ill, have been in constant misery since the death of their son Raymond. Wrecked with the guilt of feeling that Raymond’s death was Jake’s fault, she has never managed to forgive him and finds the burden too much to bear. When Hope, believed to have drowned in the pond, mysteriously returns, the retreat descends into a waking nightmare as an insidious parasite takes hold and sinks them into a terror where the boundaries of love, guilt, and survival blur.
