Spoilers ahead
A chilling study of obsession and control unfold through the volatile romance between a young marine surveyor and a much older, twice-divorced man.
Lorie Brindel is drawn to risk and experience, a pattern that leads her to fall for Ed Bledsoe, a successful, older man who hires her for a yacht assessment and then becomes her boyfriend. Their relationship starts with flirtation on the deck of his luxury yacht, but it quickly deepens: Lorie moves in while he’s away on business, a decision he reluctantly accepts, and soon she asserts herself as the dominant partner in a romance that she insists must be all-consuming. The dynamic grows increasingly unhealthy as Lorie demands that Ed be with her at all hours and cut every other potential connection from his life.
