Storyline

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?

Trivia

Goofs

While at Gordo's "dinner party", Simon does a small diatribe about Gordo. Later, we find that Gordo recorded them while he left the house for a few minutes. The captured audio played later in the movie does not match exactly what Simon said. See more »

It's good to see Jason Bateman not be the perfect gentleman in a film for once
