He gives her a worried expression. "How are you feeling?" Her reaction is one of terror. Rather, she adds, "Happy to be home," with a sliver of a grin.
Tom and Karen Krupp are content; they own a beautiful property in upstate New York, are essentially newlyweds, and don't have any children to spoil their cosy existence. However, one day Tom comes home to discover Karen has disappeared; her vehicle is gone, and it seems like she departed quickly. She even left her handbag behind, with her ID and phone.
A knock on the door indicates that Tom's wife has been admitted to the hospital, and the police are there to remove her. She was speeding through the worst area of town when she had an automobile accident and lost control.
Karen has a few cuts and a concussion from the collision. She's still mostly well, but she can't recall where she was or what she was doing before she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good.
Karen is determined to get well and move on with her life when she and Tom return home. Then she notices that something has been shifted. It doesn't seem quite right. Someone has visited her home. Additionally, the cops will not stop inquiring.
Because in this house, everyone’s a stranger. Everybody has things they would want to keep private. Something they would even murder to silence the critics.
