Tessa (Angelina Karo) loves chocolate chip pancakes and has nightmares about a humanoid lake monster later known as "Nix" the German word for nothing. The family goes camping. Tessa, attempting to fish a ball out of the lake is taken by the Nix and Dad (Michael DeVorzon) is killed by it. The film jumps to 25 years later. Mom (Dee Wallace) is touched in the head as she believes Tessa is still alive. This bothers oldest son Lucas (Skyler Caleb) is dealing with his own demons. Son Jack (James Zimbardi) holds the family together. Lucas has a user ex, Steffie (Angela Cole) who lives separately. Their daughter Zoey (Niesha Renee Guilbot) is staying with them as Steffie deals with issues. Jack has a teacher friend Liz (Angie Teodora Dick) who mentions symbiotic relationships in the classroom. And as all things mentioned in a classroom it always deals with plot or theme by the unwritten script writer's code. About this time the Nix shows back up.
The production takes place in Sacramento Co. California. The German woman (Tracy Pfau ) gives us an explanation that is very quick. It is poorly constructed with no background or follow through. The weird "twist" explains some things, but not why this was not figured out sooner, like when it happened. There is also a drug theme that runs through the film for no real reason. The plot was not put together that well. Kudos to Angela Cole who played a convincing drug user.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
