James Marsden is David, part of a young couple who move to a quiet Southern town hoping for a reset, only to find themselves hemmed in by suspicion, hostility, and old tensions. Kate Bosworth’s Amy draws the attention of local men who don’t respect the couple’s boundaries, and what starts as everyday intimidation around town turns into something far more dangerous at home. Alexander Skarsgård is among the figures closing in as dark secrets, sexual violence, and simmering resentments push David and Amy toward a violent standoff inside their own house.
