Plot Summary:

Jennifer Williams (Brenda Song) is attacked and falls into a coma. When she wakes up in the hospital, she has no memory of her past or identity. A man named Russell (Mike Vogel) appears, claiming to be her husband and taking care of her. With no one else to rely on, Jennifer trusts him and returns home with Russell to recover.

However, as she begins to heal, Jennifer feels uneasy as fragments of her memory slowly return. She notices that the house feels unfamiliar, the belongings don’t trigger any memories, and Russell’s behavior becomes increasingly controlling. As Jennifer secretly investigates her past, she uncovers a horrifying truth: Russell is not her real husband but a dangerous stalker who murdered her actual husband and assumed his identity to possess her.

Meanwhile, Detective Frank Page (Dennis Haysbert), who is investigating a missing person’s case, starts suspecting Russell. As he follows the clues and uncovers the truth, Jennifer struggles to escape from the deranged man who will stop at nothing to keep her by his side forever. A tense chase ensues as Jennifer fights for her freedom while Russell becomes more desperate to hold on to her.
