Entangled Plot Summary

What happens in Entangled from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

The mysterious Patrick Garavan (played by Pierce Brosnan) watches over David Merkin as he lies in a coma after a traumatic car accident. When the patient awakens, he desperately calls for his lover Annabelle, a woman who has already been killed, and this eerie moment sets the stage for a careful, non-linear exploration of blame, memory, and desire. What follows is not a straightforward reconstruction of events, but a backward and forward look at how a relationship spiraled into tragedy, and how the truth can be shaped—or shattered—by guilt, paranoia, and artistic ambition.
