Caddo Lake follows the story of a young woman, Jessica (played by Eliza Scanlen), who returns to her childhood home in the remote town of Caddo Lake, Texas, after the mysterious death of her estranged father. Jessica is a troubled soul, dealing with the trauma of a fractured family and the unresolved tension between her and her father, who had been a local recluse. She has not been home for years, and the lake, which is steeped in local legends and myths, is a place that brings back painful memories. Despite her initial reluctance, Jessica finds herself compelled to investigate the strange circumstances surrounding her father’s death.

When Jessica arrives, she is greeted by a quiet but unsettling town and a series of strange events that seem to be tied to the lake itself. As she digs deeper, she uncovers chilling secrets about her father’s past and the dark history of the town. Along the way, she meets a group of locals who are equally entangled in the mystery—some of them are eager to help her, while others seem determined to keep the past buried.
