Awaking from a coma to discover his wife has been killed in a car accident, Ben's world may as well have come to an end. A few weeks later, Ben's out of hospital and, attempting to start a new life, he moves home and is befriended by a beautiful young neighbour Charlotte. His life may be turning around but all is not what it seems and, haunted by visions of his dead wife, Ben starts to lose his grip on reality.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Marc Evans shot the hospital scenes in an actual abandoned psychiatric facility in Wales, which Firth later said genuinely disturbed him.
