Storyline
When Sadie, a young woman, accepts a ride-share with a stranger named Curtis, she unwittingly becomes the target of his predatory intentions. As the ride progresses, Curtis's sinister plans unfold, but Sadie, with a chillingly calm demeanour, turns the tables, luring him into a trap. Unbeknownst to Curtis, Sadie's father, David, a man with a mysterious past, is watching and waiting. Is David a vigilante seeking justice, or a dangerous man with a troubled past who is merely projecting his own demons onto the situation? Will there be justice for Sadie or will Curtis get away with his predatory behaviour?
