Plot

Mina, an American expatriate working in a pet shop in Galway, Ireland, struggles to come to terms with the death of her mother, which she inadvertently caused fifteen years earlier, and is estranged from her twin sister Lucy. Mina's boss tasks her with delivering a valuable golden conure parrot to a zoo near Belfast. En route, her car breaks down, stranding her in a forest. Lost, she names the parrot Darwin. She follows an old woman, Madeline, to a bunker-like building, nicknamed "The Coop", and meets two other occupants, Ciara and Daniel. Madeline explains that mysterious entities called "The Watchers" observe the group through the mirrored window of the Coop every night.
