A paranoid, deliberately obscure thriller about confinement and manipulation that prioritizes unsettling mystery over clarity or catharsis.

A man imprisons his estranged junkie friend in an isolated cabin in the boonies of San Diego to force him through a week of sobriety, but the events of that week are being mysteriously manipulated.
