As Ted Evans prepares for his release from prison, haunted by the guilt of killing a man's family in a DUI accident, he receives a chilling threat from the man himself: if Ted makes contact with his family, they will be killed. Fearing for his loved ones' lives, Ted decides to go into self-imposed exile, cutting off all ties and isolating himself from society.
Meanwhile, Ted's wife, Sara, struggles to understand and cope with her husband's decision. She believes that the threat is a product of Ted's overwhelming guilt and disconnection from reality. Determined to rebuild their shattered family, Sara embarks on a relentless search to find Ted and confront him with evidence that the threat is imagined.
Unbeknownst to Sara, Ted's time in prison has transformed him into an increasingly unhinged individual. Isolation and guilt have taken a toll on his sanity, blurring the lines between reality and his tormenting imagination. As Sara closes in on Ted's whereabouts, she becomes entwined in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
When Sara finally confronts Ted, armed with the proof that the threat was all in his mind, she is unprepared for the depths of his derangement. Ted's paranoia and fear have pushed him to the edge, and he believes the threat is real, despite Sara's evidence. As she desperately tries to reason with him, their once-loving reunion turns into a terrifying battle for survival.
With each passing moment, Sara finds herself questioning her own sanity, as Ted's delusions become increasingly convincing. Is there a real threat lurking in the shadows? Has Ted truly become unhinged and capable of harming their family? Or is it all a figment of his guilt-ridden imagination?
