![]() ![]() What Evan does not know is that Simon has kidnapped Jess, he keeping her in a heavily fortified, surveilled and soundproofed dungeon in his basement which is made to look like a house from the era he epitomizes. Beyond her leaving being uncharacteristic even in the worst of their times and she having left her cell phone behind, most of the evidence points to Jess probably leaving due to dissatisfaction with their relationship. The day after arguably the biggest of Jess and Evan's fights about their life since moving, Jess disappears without a trace and without a word. Jess, however, believes that Simon's story doesn't quite add up. Simon, a Men's Studies college lecturer, looks like he could have stepped straight out of the early 1960s, from the way he dresses, to the vintage car he drives, to his seeming beliefs shaped by his parents having taken on the stereotypical mother and father roles around the house when he was growing up. The one bright spot for Evan is their new friendship with their next door neighbor, Simon, who Evan at least finds interesting and nice. The strains of their new situation do manifest themselves, such as Evan snapping at Jess, a freelance graphic designer, for chatting online all day with Oscar Garrett, one in her network of amateur detective friends, instead of working on one of her paid contracts or looking for further clients which would go toward supporting that large mortgage.

Here she meets Robin, a woman who's been held captive by Simon for several years and brainwashed into living as his faithful companion - a fate that is now set for Jessica unless she can somehow find a way to escape from Simon's time-warped prison.įollowing their New York City apartment being burglarized, they walking in on the burglar in the process and being subsequently further robbed by him, engaged couple Jessica and Evan Crowder buy a house they can barely afford and move to the suburbs on Jessica's want, solely in her not feeling safe in the city anymore. The danger escalates when Simon lures her inside his home and imprisons Jessica in his secret bunker, meticulously decorated in the idealized style of the 1950's. Soon after, Jessica catches her seemingly friendly new neighbor, Simon, in a strange lie and can't let her suspicions rest. Jessica and her fiancé Evan just moved from the city into their dream home on a quiet suburban street. She becomes friendly with the mysterious man next door, who she begins to suspect is hiding a dangerous secret. A woman and her fiancé move to the suburbs, after being robbed. ![]()
