The Shack

Synopsis:

“Mack” Philips takes his three children on a family camping trip while his wife visited her sister. Just as they are about to leave the campsite, the two older kids decide to take a last canoe ride before heading home. As their canoe overturns, and Mack goes to help them, he turns his back and the unspeakable happens.

His youngest daughter, Missy, is abducted by a known child predator. After a massive search, evidence of Missy shows up at an abandoned cabin. Although they never found her body, evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness.  Everyone believes the worst has happened. For the next four years “a great sadness” falls over Mack and his family until a suspicious note, apparently from God, shows up in his mailbox, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend.

Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare.  What he finds there will change Mack’s world forever.
