A claustrophobic psychological thriller built on paranoia and mind games between a woman and a mysterious stranger, where reality itself becomes unreliable.

One night, an unusual stranger in need asks a woman living alone in a house in the woods if he can use her phone. It soon becomes clear that they're playing a strange mind game and that there's something very wrong about the woods.
