Weeks later, "She" is hospitalized, consumed by grief and guilt. He, a therapist, decides to take charge of her treatment, urging her to confront her fears rather than rely on medication. Believing that facing her phobia of the woods is the key, he takes her to their remote cabin in a forest called "Eden". What follows is not a healing retreat, but a harrowing descent into madness, violence, and a terrifying reenactment of the fall of man. As "She" manifests increasingly violent sexual behavior and reveals her research into historical "gynocide" (the systematic persecution and killing of women), "He" begins experiencing strange visions and a struggle for power that becomes both psychological and brutally physical.
