To save her family's struggling ranch, 18-year-old Claire fabricates a video of her hometown's legendary alien cryptid, Old Lucky, that grabs the attention of paranormal vloggers Lenny and Evan. Lenny is plagued with doubts about their channel's future, so catching Old Lucky might just be her chance at finding something real.

After Evan deserts Lenny, believing the investigation to be a hoax, Claire agrees to "help" Lenny uncover the history of Old Luckyβ€”and preserve her deceit. But the more the girls are drawn together and the more clues they unearth, the more secrets rise to the surface. The cows are being mutilated, the ranch hand has disappeared, and the strange lights in the sky are back. Something inhuman lurks in Scarberry, where danger lives close to home.

The Monsters We Made is an eerie and suspenseful exploration of one town's dark history and the people who brought it back to life.
