The premise

After a traumatic ordeal, acclaimed actress Emily Moore and her psychiatrist husband, Robert, escape on a relaxing vacation to a gorgeous remote Mediterranean island. But on the first night at the house, a young girl arrives, blood on her hands and hysterical from the death of her boyfriend in a hiking accident. Robert offers to take in and help the young girl, but her suggestive behavior makes Emily wonder if she might be a threat to their marriage... or her life.

Horror Vault's take

A couple seeking peace and recovery on a secluded Mediterranean island find their retreat shattered when a distressed young stranger arrives with a disturbing story and nowhere else to go. As the husband's professional instincts draw him closer to their uninvited guest, his wife begins to sense something deeply wrong beneath the surface of the girl's vulnerability. Cut off from the outside world, Emily must decide whether her mounting suspicions are the product of her own fragile state — or a very real danger closing in around her. The idyllic setting becomes a pressure cooker of jealousy, dread, and unanswered questions.
