THEY'RE HERE is a horror film that follows Edén Villa (pseudonym) and anonymous Minneapolis residents as they evade and resist the paramilitary occupation of their city. Told in the tradition of dystopian cinema, THEY'RE HERE is set in a winter landscape where masked agents abduct children, residents travel in car trunks, shackled prisoners are loaded onto aeroplanes within eyesight of vacationers and bicyclists track the movements of an invading force.
