After a chance encounter with the charismatic and seemingly perfect Carter Duncan (Michael Ealy), Leah quickly falls for him and begins a whirlwind romance. However, things take a dark turn when Carter's true nature is revealed. Possessive and volatile, Carter begins to show signs of obsessive behavior, and Leah soon realizes that she may have made a fatal mistake by getting involved with him. As she tries to break things off with Carter, he becomes increasingly dangerous, stalking and threatening her and those closest to her. The tension and suspense build as Leah realizes that she may be in danger and must find a way to protect herself and those she loves from the man she once thought was perfect. As the two engage in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, the movie keeps the audience on the edge of their seat until the dramatic conclusion.

Rosenthal keeps the pace tight and the stakes high, delivering an engaging and thrilling movie that keeps the audience guessing until the very end.
