A young woman, traumatised by a stalker, relocates to a new city to escape her past. She unknowingly commits herself to a mental institution, where she encounters her stalker. Steven Soderbergh's disappointing film starts like a cross between One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Shock Corridor. Is she telling the truth, or is she losing her mind? The protagonist certainly does not help her case with her impulsive and short-tempered behaviour. The second half removes any ambiguity about her sanity and turns this into a conventional thriller.
