The new thriller is about a wife who wakes up with amnesia following a traumatic attack and is cared for by her loving husband.

Despite thinking the worst is behind her, Jennifer comes to discover the danger is far from over.

The official synopsis from Netflix reads: “Newlywed Jennifer (Brenda Song) is brutally attacked at a dark rest stop.

"While healing from her injuries, she can’t recall anything from her past, including the ordeal.

“Her husband, Russell (Mike Vogel), is just thankful she’s alive and eager to get her home.

"As he reintroduces her to their secluded mountain estate, Detective Page (Dennis Haysbert) pursues Jennifer’s assailant — his own daughter went missing and was never found.

“The same fate now awaits Jennifer, unless someone realises that her loving caretaker is actually her captor.”

She is then escorted to her secluded home, lined with stylish plant pots, where Russell waits on her hand and foot.
