A claustrophobic psychological thriller built on paranoia and unreliable memory, where a man trapped in his own home questions the identity of those closest to him.

The story of a man who wakes up in bed suffering from memory loss after being in an accident, only to begin to suspect that his wife may not be his real wife and that a web of lies and deceit deepen inside the house where he soon finds himself a prisoner.
