The psychological thriller directed by M. Night Shyamalan follows Cooper, a devoted father who takes his teenage daughter to a concert featuring her beloved artist, Lady Raven. Upon arrival, Cooper observes high security measures at the venue, posing a potential challenge to his ulterior motive.

Unbeknownst to his daughter, Cooper also harbors a hidden agenda at the concert: he is tracking his next intended victim via his phone.
