The Last House plot recap, spoiler-light
Jason Delgado returns home to his family in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood just as an unusual storm hits. Instantly, the family discovers they are inexplicably sealed inside their house as doors and windows refuse to budge, communication lines go dead, and a mysterious water barrier blocks all exits. Alongside Jason and his wife Ann are their two children, Graham and Ruth, and their dog Cassidy.
As days stretch into weeks, the family adapts by rationing supplies, starting indoor gardens, and building water systems. They soon realize that strange, tentacled creatures become active whenever it rains, attacking anyone stranded outside. After their neighbor Susan is killed by one of these beings, the Delgados adopt strict hiding routines during rainstorms.
Over the years, the power grid fails, pets fall ill, and the children grow weary of their confined existence. When the house begins sinking and a creature invades, poisoning their resources and exposing Ruth to seawater, the family prepares for a final confrontation.
