Don't Go 2018

As Ben (actor name) Slater grapples with the crushing grief of losing his only child, Molly, he and his wife Hazel embark on a journey to rebuild their lives by renovating an idyllic coastal hotel in Ireland’s rugged west coast. The once-peaceful surroundings now serve as a poignant reminder of happier times, with every creaky floorboard and salty breeze rekindling memories of their daughter’s life.

Haunted by the enigmatic phrase ‘Seas the day’ - which seems to sear itself into his consciousness - Ben becomes increasingly consumed by an unsettling sense of déjà vu. Flashbacks of a sun-kissed summer day on the nearby beach, where they built sandcastles adorned with tiny red flags, begin to resurface, as if Molly’s spirit is nudging him towards some profound truth.

Ben’s fixation on the phrase reaches a fever pitch when he wakes from one particularly vivid dream clutching a small, crimson flag. Convinced that this omen holds the key to unlocking the secrets of his daughter’s passing, Ben becomes resolute in his determination to uncover the truth, no matter how daunting or disturbing it may be.

However, as those closest to him - including his wife Hazel and her troubled friend Serena - begin to question his sanity, Ben finds himself torn between his quest for answers and the very fabric of reality. His desperation to solve this mystery only intensifies when he realizes that the truth he seeks is inextricably linked to the events surrounding Molly’s tragic demise.

As the pieces of the puzzle slowly fall into place, Ben’s determination pays off, granting him the ultimate reward - but at a devastating cost. In his final, heart-wrenching vision, Ben confronts the dark reality that has haunted him since the beginning: the true circumstances of his daughter’s death, and the unimaginable price he must pay to bring her back.

With this shattering revelation, Ben is forced to confront the ultimate sacrifice he must make to reclaim his child. In a poignant, bittersweet epiphany, he realizes that the only way to restore Molly to life is by surrendering his own.

As the funeral procession for Ben fades into memory, Hazel is tasked with the daunting task of parting ways with their longtime home. With Serena’s able assistance, she and Molly embark on a mission to pack up the remnants of their life, carefully stowing each treasured item into the vehicle that will soon bear them away from the only residence they’ve ever known. Meanwhile, Hazel’s loyal canine companion darts back into the house, its tail wagging with excitement as it seeks out a familiar haven. In pursuit of her wayward pet, Hazel ascends to one of the upper floors, where her eyes fall upon a minuscule but striking red flag perched atop the windowsill - a small yet potent reminder that even in the darkest moments, there can be hidden glimmers of hope and promise waiting to be unearthed.
