Plot summary
Two sisters, Abby and Rebecca Powell, parted after a traumatic event in their youth and have not met for more than a decade. They return to a secluded lake house to spread their mother's ashes and settle her affairs. In the nearby woods something waits: an object no human hand made, and it draws them toward it. Calvin, married to one of the women, grows obsessed with the thing and will not let it go. Abby suffers nightmares of an alien presence that feels all too real to her. As the sisters reconnect, they begin trying to work out what the object is and what it was made for.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Device (2014)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Because co-writer and producer John Portanova's own film, Valley of the Sasquatch, was about to enter pre-production, he and director Jeremy Berg rushed to complete The Device early; both credited their long-standing interest in alien abduction stories for the fast pre-production.
- John Portanova had long wanted to write an alien abduction screenplay but got writer's block on the second act, so he filled the missing parts with ideas from director Jeremy Berg.
- The alien in the film was a practical effect, and director Jeremy Berg deliberately kept it in shadows, both for practical reasons and to heighten tension.
