[edit] Plot

A woman is staying in a cabin in the woods when a stranger shows up at her door claiming his car broke down and that he needs to use a phone. Soon we sense that there's more to it than that. The man seems to know a little too much about her... The two disorient each other, testing each other's limits by asking hard-hitting questions, and each shows limited trust in the other. Is he crazy, or is she the one who is really insane? Is the man a stalker or a protector?

The film ends with a twist ending nobody suspected.
