When Jonah comes across a photo of Seymour s beautiful wife, Kate, his curiosity about her and her enigmatic husband becomes an obsession.

Jonah visits Kate, hoping she can provide some answers, and is immediately drawn to her vulnerability. As his relationship with Kate intensifies, the dark truth about her husband emerges and Jonah is drawn into terrifying web of duplicity and deceit from which there is no apparent escape.
