Plot
Mackenzie "Mack" Phillips suffered physical and emotional abuse as a child at the hands of his drunken father, who abused his mother as well. One day, Mack tells the preacher at his church of his abuse, and as punishment, his father harshly beats him, leading to Mack's mother's decision to leave them. As a 13-year-old boy, he chose to poison his father with strychnine in his whiskey.
A few years later, now an adult, he has a fulfilling life with his wife, Nan, and their three children: Kate, Josh and Missy. Mack's life falls apart when their youngest child Missy disappears during a camping trip while he is saving Kate and Josh during a canoeing accident. The police determine Missy is the victim of a serial killer after finding her torn dress and blood in a derelict cabin in the forest (the titular "shack"). Kate blames herself for Missy's death, because she caused the canoe accident in the first place.
The tragedy derails Mack's faith and life, until the onset of winter when he receives an unstamped, typewritten note inviting him to meet at the shack. The message is signed "Papa" (which was Missy's nickname for God). Thinking this may possibly be an opportunity for meeting and punishing the serial killer, Mack takes his gun, borrows his friend's SUV, and drives there, narrowly avoiding a collision with a truck on the way. Finding the shack empty, an enraged Mack tries to kill himself; but before he can, he encounters a mysterious figure, who leads him to the trio of strangers who invite him to stay at their house nearby.
