In the surreal horror-thriller , the story follows Meredith Tanning, a museum curator who cautiously enters the dating pool after an abusive relationship. She accepts a weekend getaway invitation from a seemingly charming man named Bruce Ernst, unaware that he is a prolific serial killer. The narrative unfolds in two distinct acts:

When Meredith attempts to leave, Bruce attacks her. However, she fights back, wounding him and escaping into the woods. Bruce then spirals into a hallucinatory nightmare where he is relentlessly pursued and psychologically tortured by personifications of the Greek Furies , representing his past victims.

The story serves as a meditation on feminine rage and the consequences of toxic behavior, blending modern slasher elements with ancient mythology.

Bruce, driven by bloodlust and hallucinations of a "Red Owl" figure, has already murdered an art collector to steal an ancient Greek statue of the Erinyes (the Furies) . During their stay at a remote cabin, Meredith becomes increasingly uneasy due to strange occurrences and eventually recognizes the stolen statue.
