Leonie Aris arrives at the magnificent Gullspire House as the new wife of the charming Julian Croft, believing she is living a dream. But the dream curdles into a nightmare. Julian begins a systematic process of psychological manipulation, isolating her, controlling her, and subtly erasing her identity. He isn’t just a controlling husband; he’s molding her into a perfect replacement for his deceased first wife, Isolde.
When Leonie discovers she’s a near-perfect lookalike and finds Isolde’s hidden journals, she uncovers a terrifying truth: Julian is a murderer, and she is next in his deadly cycle. Her desperate fight for survival becomes a high-tech game of cat and mouse when the luxurious ‘smart’ home, meant to be a sanctuary, reveals itself as an inescapable prison. Every lock, camera, and system is controlled by her hunter, turning her escape into a claustrophobic trap.
