In a welcoming neighborhood near Baltimore, Morgan Albright, a former Army child, has at last settled down. Nina, Morgan's friend and roommate, assists in covering the mortgage, alongside Morgan's work as a bartender. Following their inaugural dinner party alongside Luke, the playful IT professional who captivated her attention at the bar, her meticulously constructed universe crumbles. The glass on the back door is shattered, valuables like cash and jewelry are nowhere to be found, her car has disappeared, and Nina's lifeless body is laying on the floor. A dreadful revelation surfaces quickly: Morgan allowed the creature to enter. "Larry" truly is a frosty scammer named Gavin who preys on a specific kind of woman, swindling her possessions and identity before carrying out his final objective: homicide. The information provided to Morgan by the FBI is incredibly disturbing. Nina did not fit his preferences. Morgan is. Nina happened to be in the incorrect location at an unfortunate moment. Morgan is just at the beginning of her nightmare. She will eventually have to escape to her mom's house in Vermont. As she attempts to construct something fresh, she encounters a different individual named Miles Jameson. The man is not showy or charming, and his family's company is firmly established in the community. However, Gavin continues to seek out fresh prey, never once losing sight of the one that slipped through his grasp.
