The film is set in Brussels, where Katherine is trying to come to terms with the death of her famous actor husband, Stefan (Michiel Huisman), a year prior. She is still struggling to deal with the devastating loss and the consequent fallout that has occurred in her life since then. She has relocated to Brussels, where she flew from America on the anniversary of Stefan's death. She stays in her late husband's Brussels apartment where she can be alone with her thoughts- until a message from a stranger threatens to throw her world into turmoil.

As the story progresses, Katherine delves deeper into her late husband's past searching for answers to the questions that have been plaguing her since his death. Katherine digs deep into Stefan's past and tries to figure out clues he left her right before he died. We see her traverse a complex plot that involves shady deals and heated passions.

The film's writer and director, Meredith Danluck, paints a gripping portrait of a woman that is struggling to come to terms with the unexplained death of her husband. Throughout the movie, Katherine is constantly trying to discern between reality and her imagination. She soon comes to realize that in this unfamiliar environment, everyone has a price, and things are not always as they seem. Katherine stops at nothing to find out what happened to her husband and why.

The film's cinematography is stunning, notably when Katherine is shown walking through Brussels. The city's streets and old-world architecture make for a beautiful backdrop for the film. The music is aptly foreboding and adds a layer of tension to each scene.
