Plot
Jessica Chambers confronts her husband John over an affair. John admits he has been seeing Vivienne Ballard, one of his students. John agrees to break things off with Vivienne, to not tell anything about his affair to their daughter, Anna, and to go on vacation with his wife and daughter to mend their family.
The family travels to a house on the Louisiana bayou that Jessica manages through her job as a realtor. The family will vacation at the home while Jess sets it up for the market. Jessica and John argue over whether to have hamburgers or veal cutlets for dinner. Jess sends John and Anna to pick up veal, her preference. While at the store, Anna meets and flirts with a boy named Isaac. The store owner writes a cryptic message on John's receipt that says: "The devil is watching you." John leaves without buying the veal and lies to Jess, saying the veal was sold out.
Isaac soon appears at the door and manipulates Jessica and John into inviting Isaac and his Grandpappy, the store owner, in to cook a veal dinner, exposing John's lie. Over dinner Isaac shows hostility towards John and psychologically tortures the three family members with vague threats. Grandpappy explains that Isaac is a mysterious force and plays a record while Isaac is away. The disc plays a conversation that reveals John planned to leave his family for Vivienne. John denies this and is goaded into going outside with Isaac, where it is revealed that John paid Isaac and Grandpappy to murder Jessica. Isaac suggests he is controlling things now as inside Grandpappy insists John is guilty of being a poor husband and father.
Upon his return, Jessica tells John she is divorcing him and that she sees through his gaslighting. Isaac tricks John into entering a room and locks him in. Vivienne shows up at the front door, lured there by Isaac using John's phone. Grandpappy forces Anna at gunpoint to burn Vivienne, locked in her car, for her transgressions but Jess burns her instead. In the chaos, John is killed by a coyote inside the locked room, and Jess murders Grandpappy. Isaac threatens to take Anna for his wife, claiming that he‘s been alive for centuries, has been to hell, and isn't sure if he‘s angel or a demon. When he reaches for Anna, Jessica kills him.
Jessica and Anna go to Vierge County's Sheriff Torres to report events, but return to the site to find the house gone and the terrain vacant – except for John's wedding ring laying on the (now) field of grass. On the ride back to the station, Torres reveals pulls over to let the perfectly fine Isaac and Grandpappy drive by in their truck. Torres confirms that Isaac and Grandpappy are not human, they clean the town of evil-doers and sinners, and Jessica should take her survival as a boon and never return to the town.
