Turn On Subtitles and Spoilers Ahead!
Young and wealthy businessman, Chris Decker, is having a video call with his beautiful wife, Jamie,
regarding his signature for the divorce papers she asked him to sign. The two are about
to split up, but Chris is starting to have second thoughts about his divorce, so he
says that he could have fought harder to keep his family. Unfortunately, Jamie just
encourages him to move on now. After their conversation, Jamie tucks her daughter Willow
in bed while the child expresses how much she misses her dad. Jamie can only comfort
her by telling her how much she loves her husband, too.
Chris drives through the pouring rain in a local convenience store to shop for some
ice cream. There, he notices a beautiful woman named Sky, who asks him for his opinion on the
wine she’s about to purchase. She explains that she’s had a rough day, so Chris recommends
her a bottle of Nebbiolo. The two introduce themselves to each other, and with that,
she leaves. Outside the convenience store, Chris sees Sky again as her Uber got cancelled, so
he offers her a free ride to her apartment. There, she explains that she got into a fight with
her roommate and that she didn’t want to spend the night with her, so he offers to
take her to his house. The apartment owner, Ronald, observes her without being noticed
from his house window, and he watches as Chris takes Sky in his car.
The sheer luxury of Chris’ home amazes Sky, and she believes that it belongs to his
parents, but Chris says that the whole property is his. He’s retired from making security
software applications, and that evidently made him a very pretty buck. In contrast,
Sky used to model in the past, but she later moved to the countryside to find something
more fulfilling. Deeper into the night, the two of them drink by the fireplace, and
the intimacy between them is palpable. Chris and Sky lock lips with each other,
and this quickly leads to Sky moaning in bliss while racking Chris back and forth.
The following morning, an alarm wakes Chris up to an empty bed while Sky arrives at her
apartment. Ronald catches her attention then mockingly spouts ‘walk of shame’, sensing
what she had done. When she enters her apartment room, her roommate, Lisa, storms at her,
worried sick since she didn’t come home last night. Though Lisa’s starting to go
on about kicking her out of the apartment, Sky just brushes her off and enters the bedroom,
closing the door. while Lisa begs her to open it and talk to her. Sky just lies in
bed as her thoughts drift elsewhere. On the other hand, Chris is reminiscing the
moments he shared with his daughter, Willow. He could even hear her giggling voice.
During a night of loneliness, Chris visits a bar for a drink, and it just so happens
that Sky is serving drinks there. She happily approaches him and the two of them talk,
but Chris bluntly tells her that he only decided to see her because his wife wished
for him to move on, catching her off guard. They continue their conversation even after
Sky’s shift has ended, and she confesses that she lied about having a family. She
was actually in a foster home and grew up with several families that tried to adopt
her, and she even calls herself damaged goods. Chris comforts her, explaining that
his family was no good, either. He became obsessed with security, which is one of the reasons
behind his and his ex-wife’s disputes. Suddenly, Chris gets interrupted when he sees a man
named Kirju trying to steal his car. Chris tries to stop him, but their altercation
ends with Kirju breaking his right leg with a crowbar and running off. The crime has left
Chris in a wheelchair with his casted leg, and Sky takes him home the next morning.
He struggles to carry himself to the couch since his private nurse is yet to arrive, so
a very sympathetic Sky offers to take care of him. When Chris jokingly asks for her
qualifications, she enticingly whispers that he could get it on with her before kissing
him passionately. And so, Chris accepts her offer and cancels his appointment with his
private nurse. He entrusts his home passcodes to her, and Sky leaves to retrieve her belongings
from her home. Lisa waits for Sky’s return in her apartment with
Ronald watching her. He comments that she was doing good for herself before Sky came into
her life, but Lisa tells him to shut up as Sky arrives, smirking at Ronald and saying he’s
just jealous. The two ignore Ronald and Sky walks inside the apartment room to pack up
her things. Lisa cries, demanding an explanation from Sky. Instead, she asks her to sit with
her in bed, then Sky kisses her lips, calming her down. A sleeping Chris is woken up by
Sky’s gentle voice, seducing him already. Chris kisses her lips and begs her for more,
and they fill their remaining hours by spending the night together. Lying down in bed, Chris
tells Sky that he loves her, and she responds that it’s probably the drug’s side effect. He
asks her if she would feel the same way, but she confesses that she already loves him.
Ronald bangs on Lisa's apartment door asking for the rent, but when he doesn’t receive a response,
he forces it open. To his utter shock, he finds Lisa’s dead body with both her wrists slit
in a bathtub filled with blood. Meanwhile, Sky’s testing the face security scanner just as Chris
is waking up. Detective Lane interviews Ronald regarding Lisa’s death, suspecting that
she was murdered. Ronald believes that she had killed herself after her lover, Sky,
left her in such a depressed state. The detective isn’t convinced though, since he can’t
find any trace of a woman named Sky in their database. Their conversation is interrupted
when the media arrives, but the detective gets upset with Ronald facing them only to
blabber on about the apartment’s history. Meanwhile, Jamie video calls Chris to follow
up on their divorce papers, but he reasons that he can’t do them right now. He shows
his leg injury, so Jamie suggests having Willow visit him to cheer him up, and he agrees. But
what surprises her more is learning that Chris hired a private nurse for his leg since she knows full
well that her ex-husband has trust issues. Chris then looks for Sky, who’s currently
taking a shower. With his curiosity and mistrust getting the better of him, he finds her bag
and snoops around, eventually finding a photo of her with Lisa. But Sky would then catch
him in the act, so Chris is left with no choice but to admit to what he was doing, making
her smile and say that she’d have done the same thing. She then throws her towel
at him, making Chris dry her up, and they end up racking the bed back and forth with
their wild, steamy hormone sandwich. At night, Sky enters Willow’s old room,
singing a lullaby and lying down to sleep. The following morning, Chris wakes up in
a panic and frantically looks for his missing phone. He strolls around the house with his
crutches to check his tablet, but the device isn’t working. Then, he sees that the television’s
on, reporting Lisa’s mysterious passing with the question: ‘Murder or Suicide?’
flashing. Chris instantly recognizes her as the girl from Sky’s photo, but he gets
distracted when she suddenly arrives, bringing him breakfast. After looking for his phone
again, Chris mentions the news, saying that she should contact the cops. However, Sky
would simply admit to murdering Lisa, and she gazes menacingly upon Chris while commenting
on how the chicken tastes. Chris is understandably baffled, so Sky explains that Lisa was nosy
and jealous. But since she had the apartment, Sky stayed with her to spy on Chris’ house
through a telescope. For the past two months, she’s been doing her homework, studying
him, and figuring out how to gain his trust. Chris is absolutely disheartened to learn this,
and he shouts at Sky to get out of his property. Unmoved, Sky simply smiles at him, and when
he tries to escape, she uses his phone to lock the doors and trap Chris there with her.
He demands her to give his phone back, but Sky just tases him, making him fall to the
floor. Unable to recover because of his injured leg, Chris gets tased again, and soon, he’s
knocked unconscious. Back at the apartment, Ronald is cleaning Lisa’s room when he
finds the telescope that Sky used to spy on Chris. He then spies the other houses with
it, and upon seeing a naked lady, he hurriedly grabs a chair to watch.
Meanwhile, Sky ties Chris to a wheelchair and interrogates him about his security codes.
He refuses to cooperate, however, so Sky kicks him to the floor and tortures him with
an electric drill. After his little bout of voyeurism, Ronald moves the angle of the
telescope, and he ends up peeking at Sky getting dressed after torturing Chris. As
for Sky, she’s happily transferring Chris's money to her account.
Morning comes with Chris in agonizing pain as Ronald watches Sky fixes Chris up to make
him look presentable for the bankers and brokers. She plans on liquidating his stocks
to fund her own self-made company, but Chris isn’t having any of that. He struggles
to escape and even attempts to choke Sky, but she just stabs his chest with a pair
of scissors. After threatening to hurt his family if he doesn’t cooperate, she proceeds
to take away all his gadgets, unplug every security wiring, then take pictures of his
art collection. Later on, some people start to arrive, and Chris gets hopeful, only to get crushed
upon seeing Kirju. She then gives him a run-down of what they’ll be selling from Chris's
possessions. Some time after, Ronald’s secretly waiting in his car while Sky leaves the house. She
made sure to leave Chris's mouth with duct tape, rendering his screams for help futile.
Thinking that the coast is clear, Ronald breaks a window and enters Chris’ home, where he
finds him wounded and tied up in his wheelchair. At the same time, Sky catches Ronald on the
security camera through Chris's phone. Ronald takes his sweet time criticizing Chris for
being rich before removing the duct tape from his mouth. Chris begs him to call the cops, but
because Ronald knows his priorities, he bribes Chris into giving him something valuable first. He
desperately offers up his Picasso painting, so Ronald drops the bomb, admitting that he doesn’t
own a phone since it causes brain cancer. When Sky arrives, Ronald quickly grabs a knife
to threaten Sky before running upstairs while holding the painting. Unfazed, Sky smiles
ominously at Chris and faces him in the house monitor as she walks upstairs with a samurai
blade. She gleefully monitors Ronald’s movements through Chris's phone, and with
Sky focused on the loon, Chris breaks free from his captivity. He hastily rides a snowmobile
to the backdrop of Ronald’s agonized voice while Sky repeatedly stabs him. However,
Chris falls on the road, and he almost gets hit by a car. The driver, Sebastian, helps
a paranoid Chris get in his car and assures him that there is no woman following him.
Sebastian dials the number then calls the cops before handing it to him so he can explain
his situation. But when the car reaches its destination, Chris is equal parts surprised
and horrified to see that they just went back to his house. Sebastian knocks him unconscious,
and a bloody Sky welcomes him. They take him back inside with Sebastian mocking how
pathetic Chris looked after believing he was saved. Sky leaves them alone, letting
Sebastian introduce himself as Sky’s stepfather. He goes on about how people like Chris get
robbed by people like himself, and he even brags about how he nurtured and trained Sky’s
skills of deception. At this point, Sebastian’s almost justifying what they’re doing by
saying that Chris didn’t manage to get all of his wealth on his own. He didn’t get
it all just by being smart because so many other people are smart. He points to the
outside of Chris's house, emphasizing how he’s up there all protected up in his hill
while the people he looks down on, the people below him are looking up at him with hungry
eyes. But Chris is unfazed, and with restraint, he asserts that he doesn’t look down on
anybody but Sebastian, that he can’t twist this into some socio-political bullcrap because
he and Sky are thieves and killers. Nothing more.
That night, Chris’ heart breaks even further as he listens to the cacophony of Sky and
Sebastian’s moans while they roughly have their way with each other. Later on, Sky walks
up to Chris, explaining that she had to feed the wolf, much to his disgust. She then starts
showing something that’s akin to pity, confessing that she’ll miss the life she
had with him. But Chris just retorts that everything she says are just lies, and he
even questions if Sky’s her real name. Still, he confesses that he genuinely loved
her, he could’ve given all he had to her, she didn’t have to take it. Sky retorts that
he’s a liar, and since she knows about the grand fortune he’s hiding in the bank, she brings him
to Sebastian. The money can only be accessed through his thumb mark, so they cut off his thumb, letting
Chris's curdling screams end the night. As promised, Jamie arrives at Chris's house to
drop Willow off. The girl quickly runs off to her room, while Jamie looks around, perturbed
by the mess. When she sees the bloodstains on the floor, she immediately orders Willow
to come back, only for a very nonchalant Sky to waltz in with Willow in her arms.
Jamie sternly demands that Sky let her daughter go, and as soon as she does, she asks where
Chris is. Sky chirpily tells them to come back another time since he’s still sleeping, spurring
Jamie to threaten that she’ll call the cops. The mother-daughter pair grows even more unsettled
when Sebastian shows up, and soon, they’re locked in a room with an injured Chris, who
cries upon reuniting with his daughter. Meanwhile, Sebastian ties Chris's severed
thumb to his finger to enact their plan of getting the last of Mr. Millionaire’s liquid
assets. During the drive away from the house, Sebastian notices that something’s up with Sky, but
she dismisses his thoughts and encourages him to focus on getting the money. As for the trapped
finally, they finally figure out a way to escape by fitting Willow into the vent. At
the bank, the thieves are met by a vault officer who tries to shake their hands. When
it’s time to scan Sebastian’s finger, it actually works. Back in the house, Jamie’s
managed to open the vent, and she lets Willow loose so the child can crawl along to break
free. Chris explains that his bearer bonds are the reason why he was robbed, much to
Jamie’s shock. She, in turn, admits that she had hidden his money out of fear that he
wouldn’t give her the financial support. Sebastian and Sky are tethering on livid when they
read Jamie’s letter inside the deposit box. They hurriedly drive back to the house, and
through the monitor, they can see that Willow’s already escaped from captivity. Willow opens
the security lock on the door while Sebastian and Sky arrive at the house. They split up
to search, and suddenly, Chris comes out of hiding. He surprises Sebastian and nearly
hits him with his weapon, but Sebastian easily overpowers him. When Chris stumbles to the floor, Sebastian
brutally beats him, and Sky holds him at gunpoint, demanding to know where Jamie is. Chris
grimaces in pain while Sebastian keeps egging her to shoot him. But in her confusion and
irritation, she points the gun at her stepfather, killing him instead. Despite his shock, Chris
takes this opportunity to stab Sky on the shoulder before taking his phone and hiding
from her. Sky removes the weapon from her shoulder and smiles amidst the pain. She grabs
it along with her gun and continues her hunt for Chris inside his home. Chris uses his phone
to distract her with loud orchestral music playing in the background, and he turns off the lights
while monitoring her through his phone. Sky walks silently along the halls as Jamie and Willow
hide in fear. Then, the woman begins to taunt Chris and fires aimlessly at the loud noises she
keeps hearing. Chris surprises Sky and tries to pin her down, only to get stabbed on the chest. He
stumbles in pain, but before Sky can deal the finishing blow, Jamie goes on to save
him. The women engage in a struggle, with Sky eventually overpowering Jamie and injuring
her feet. Chris manages to strike Sky’s leg, immobilizing her for a brief moment.
But she remains standing up, ready to stab the husband and wife. To everyone’s surprise,
Willow fires the gun, and Sky drops to the ground. Though she’s shocked beyond belief,
Jamie wills herself to rush towards her daughter and embrace her. As Sky lays dying, she desperately
tries to tell Chris something. Sirens can be heard, and Jamie quickly leaves with Willow.
Chris is desperately crawling away from Sky when he hears her last words. ‘Margaret’.
That’s Sky’s real name. And with a teardrop falling from her lifeless eyes, Sky had finally
said an honest thing.
