In the remote, sun soaked Pennsylvanian countryside, Ned Larson - a retired professor and reclusive inventor is killed in an explosion at his home. Soon after, small-time investigative journalist Eve Pretson crawls from the wreckage of a burnt out car nearby. She suffers a complete loss of memory - with no recollection of who she is or anything that preceded the accident. Weak and disorientated, she stops at a gas station for help, but instead witnesses the murder of a local mechanic. How are these events connected? In a desperate search for answers, Eve pieces together the scattered fragments of her life, becoming ever more fearful of all she uncovers.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was a Canadian TV movie that somehow convinced everyone it was set in Pennsylvania. The 'rural American gothic' aesthetic was shot in Quebec.
Director Philippe Gagnon spent his career in exactly this lane: mid-budget Canadian thrillers that air at 3 PM on basic cable and absolutely no one remembers. This is arguably his masterpiece, which tells you everything.
