A paranoia-soaked psychological horror about a vulnerable teen whose drug-addled mind and isolation make her prey to both external threat and internal unraveling.

Morgan, a troubled, drug-addled teen, must deal with her crazy grandma and a psycho caller when her father leaves her home alone. As the calls keep coming in, a paranoid Morgan is forced to face some of her worst fears and inner demons when she believes everyone she knows is either plotting against her - or trying to kill her.
