Plot Summary

Simon and Robyn are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon's high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn't recognize Gordo at first, but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia As he wanted to focus on directing, Joel Edgerton filmed his own scenes as Gordo after two weeks of shooting and completed them in seven days. See more »
Goofs At around 1:19:50 into the movie, when Simon goes to "apologize" to Gordo and proceeds to pin him to the ground, the shot shows Gordo surrounded by sheets of paper that fell on the ground. In the next shot he's suddenly not surrounded by paper anymore. The shot after that shows him surrounded by paper again. See more »
