Caddo Lake

The mist‑shrouded waters of Caddo Lake sit on the thin line between Louisiana and Texas, a place where the reeds whisper old stories and the surface seems to pulse with an uneasy rhythm. The lake’s ever‑changing levels lend the surrounding town an atmosphere that feels both timeless and on the brink of revelation, a perfect backdrop for secrets that have lingered beneath its glassy skin for generations. Every ripple hints at something unseen, making the environment itself a character that shapes the lives that gather around it.

Ellie is a headstrong teenager whose restless spirit often collides with her mother’s expectations. Living with a stepfather and her young stepsister Anna, she feels caught between the desire to forge her own path and the pull of family obligations. When Anna vanishes one night near the water’s edge, the disappearance ignites a frantic search that forces Ellie to confront both the eerie magnetism of the lake and the tangled emotions within her household. Her rebellion becomes a quest for answers, pushing her deeper into an environment that seems to respond to the very act of looking.

Paris is a young man haunted by the memory of a devastating car accident that claimed his mother’s life, an event that still ripples through his present. He returns to Caddo Lake with a personal mission, drawn to its depths as he tries to piece together the circumstances surrounding that tragedy. As he works on the lake’s shoreline, odd occurrences begin to surface—footprints where water should be, lost sensations, and lingering items that tug at his past—suggesting that the lake may hold more than just memories.

Both Ellie and Paris find themselves pulled into a shared mystery that intertwines their personal histories with the lake’s enigmatic nature. The story balances a haunting, almost lyrical tone with the urgency of a family in crisis, inviting the audience to wonder what truths lie beneath the stillness and how the past might echo forward through the shifting waters.
