The story begins seven years before the main events unfold. We meet Travis Shaw, a charming southern gentleman played by Benjamin Walker, who has a casual relationship with a woman named Monica portrayed by Alexandra Daddario. One fateful night, Travis encounters his new neighbor, Gabby Holland, acted by Teresa Palmer, when she confronts him about his loud music and the antics of his dog, Moby, who has allegedly gotten her dog, Molly, pregnant. Unlike other women, Gabby appears immune to Travis’s charms, a fact that is not lost on his sister, Stephanie, played by Maggie Grace.
