Alice (Anna Kendrick) is stressed. Her boyfriend Simon (Charlie Carrick) is controlling. Her friends Tess (Kaniehtiio Horn) and Sophie (Wunmi Mosaku) invite her to spend a week at a cabin in the country. She becomes obsessed with a missing woman.
This is a classy indie version of a Lifetime movie. Whereas Lifetime would have the boyfriend scream and turn the climax into a thriller chase film, this one is showing the emotional control and quiet suffering. It's not the most dynamic, but it works. I do want a moment of standard melodrama and have Sophie force a hug on Alice. This movie needs a heavier hand in a few key moments. Anna Kendrick is pretty good here. The actors are all pretty good.
