SYNOPSIS
Erin and Hannah are two close sisters in their early adulthood. Erin is in her late twenties, and is rather serious and calm in nature. In contrast, Hannah is a young, energetic woman in her early twenties who is very charismatic and happy. Our film opens with Hannah coming to visit Erin at her home. Hannah excitingly tells her sister of a blind date she will be going on later that day, with a man she has been talking to on an online app. As she is getting ready to leave for this date, Erin reminds her that she will be staying at Erin’s house to watch her cat for the weekend, as she will be out of town on a camping trip.
Hannah goes on her blind date, and finds the man to be very odd and creepy. This leaves her feeling very uneasy staying at her sister’s house alone all weekend. For the next day after the date, Hannah gets subtle signs from the man that she went on the date with that he doesn’t consider their relationship to be over. As this man becomes a more dangerous threat to Hannah, she calls her sister for help, and Erin finds herself in a race against time to save one of the most important people in her life.
