That is, if one believes the malicious lies. Living with her grandmother, working a hotel night shift, and relying on pills to get a day's sleep, Afton is due a little luck. It comes in the form of an unexpected financial windfall. With her newfound wealth, Afton sets a secret plan in motion to help her only friend, Sydney, flee a toxic husband. But the best intentions soon spin out of control. Afton is getting unsettling calls from a restricted number, and someone has been lingering outside her home.
