SYNOPSIS

Act 1 summary
What would you do if the love of your life betrayed you? CIARA and DWIGHT were unconditionally in love with one another. After being in a serious exclusive relationship for four years, they were infatuated, the apple of one another’s eye. They performed their usual routine, go to fancy restaurants and wine and dine, visit new places and become intimate with one another. Life was perfect in Ciara’s perspective she had her wealth, status, beauty and most importantly her soulmate.

Act 2 summary

Ciara was not prepared for the event that was going to unfold the following day. In her eyes it was a normal usual day. She decided to express her fondness for Dwight by surprising him, her plan to dress in sexy lingerie with champagne and strawberries in her hand. When she opens the door to their accommodation she starts to hear mumbling and rustling. The noise becomes more prominent in their master bedroom; there was a creak in the door providing a small confined space for viewing. Inside she sees Dwight caressing and about to become sexually intimate with another she female she briefly hears their conversation ‘When are you going to leave that wife of yours’. After hearing this Ciara’s emotional and physical behaviour began to decline rapidly she resorted to hard drug use, suicide and alcohol to remove the pain. She becomes villainous and behaves as though she possessed and her behaviour becomes abnormal and creepy unrealistic elements are included to exaggerate the psychological thriller genre such as her soul leaves her body and weird body language. She tries to change her appearance. She begins to torment Dwight, call his phone on unknown, watch him on her webcam, has a wall of his photos and locations. She’s behind him and when he turns around she disappears and every time he tries to reach out or see Ciara nobody has seen or heard from her.

Act 3 summary 

Ciara is in Dwight’s house with matches and the intention of burning the house down. However, he comes home early and catches her in the act they get in a heated aggressive argument which later breaks in a fight. Dwight and Ciara is brutally hurting one another (kicking, punching) then Ciara pulls out a gun Dwight wrestles it out their hand and they both start wrestling on the floor for the gun only their hands are visible. The trigger is pulled then it cuts to blood splattering on the wall. The climax is left on a cliff-hanger so the trailer does not tell too much about the film
