PlotA young, socially awkward woman named Angie Anderson is living alone in a high-rise apartment in the city. She struggles with her psychological traumas and relies heavily on her therapist, Dr. Stephen Carter, for support. One day, while returning from therapy, she is attacked in an elevator by a red-bearded man but manages to fend him off with a pair of scissors. The police are skeptical of her story due to the lack of evidence, leaving Angie feeling even more isolated and paranoid. Desperately searching for peace, she purchases a pair of huge, antique scissors to protect herself.
Angie becomes increasingly entangled in a series of unexplained events and bizarre encounters after meeting the mysterious twins, Alex and Cole Morgan, who live in the same building. Her psychological state begins to fracture as she finds herself trapped in a nearby apartment with walls lined with disturbingly familiar objects. Doubt creeps in as she questions her own sanity and her connection to the escalating string of inexplicable occurrences around her. Her reality spirals as she grapples with uncovering the truth behind the sinister and elaborate web that she's entrapped within, leaving her to confront her deepest fears and uncover the secrets lying dormant in her psyche.
