SHORELINE ORIGINS. During a desperate moment in a hospital ward, a sick man makes a pact with a dark force to save his life. But he later breaks the pact. A deformed baby girl is later born in the wake of the broken pact. The villagers reject her and demand that she is killed and thrown away because she is a bad omen. Her desperate mother hides her at the shoreline of the lake and secretly nurses her. A creature finds the baby and adopts her. The baby’s genetic defects provide her with adaptations that enable her to live in water. She returns to the village as a young woman but the villagers attack her believing that she is a demon. She narrowly survives the horrific attack and escapes back to the lake. Seeing her injured and bleeding, her vengeful lake mother retaliates with devastating consequences. After the carnage, the villagers assemble fearsome warriors, experienced fishermen and skilled hunters from far and wide to kill the creature. What follows is a series of spell binding events and revelations that lead to the most unexpected finale. In the middle of this conflict, a doctor doggedly struggles to find if any scientific advancements can be achieved from the disturbing occurrences that shake the rural community. Dreams and fears, like the land and the lake, meet at the shoreline.
