Spoilers ahead
In this taut psychological thriller, Paul Hipp and Bitty Schram portray Robert and Hallie Marrs, a young Los Angeles couple who decide to take a vacation and leave their home in the care of two strangers. When they return, the scene is unsettling: their fish lie dead, the plants are withered, and the house is a mess. The sitters—Zack and Sophie—are still there, wearing the Marrs’ clothes and refusing to leave. What began as a simple house-sitting arrangement has spiraled into a dangerous power dynamic.
The charismatic couple quickly insinuate themselves into Robert’s life, awakening a side of him shaped by their erotically charged irresponsibility. The atmosphere becomes charged with a perverse, nocturnal energy that unsettles the marriage and unsettles the viewer.
