Surprise! Oliver reveals a luxurious NYC hotel suite to his blindfolded fiancée Victoria, an extravagant expense made possible with the help of Victoria’s wealthy, manipulative mother. Recovering from depression, Victoria is newly off her meds and feeling uneasy. She attempts to relax and enjoy the evening, but discerning between visions and reality becomes increasingly difficult when eerie events begin to occur – a bathtub filled with blood, a bellhop ushering her into a new, identical room, and Oliver showing up with a gash in his head. Is everything all in her head because she stopped taking her antidepressants? Or is there really a scheme to hurt them?
