Plot Summary


Here is the rephrased text:

Cecilia Kass (trapped) in a suffocating relationship with Adrian Griffin, the ruthless CEO of Cobalt, a company on the cutting edge of human-computer augmentation. One fateful night, Cecilia takes matters into her own hands, drugging Adrian and making a daring escape from his heavily secured estate with the help of her younger sister Emily. In hiding with her childhood friend, San Francisco Police detective James Lanier, and his daughter Sydney, Cecilia tries to rebuild her shattered life.

However, two weeks after her narrow escape, Adrian’s seemingly inexplicable demise sends shockwaves through their lives. His lawyer brother Tom handles the arrangements, leaving Cecilia stunned and suspicious. As strange events plague her new surroundings, Cecilia becomes increasingly convinced that Adrian is not gone, but rather biding his time to torment her further. James tries to reassure her, attributing her paranoia to trauma, but Cecilia’s instincts scream otherwise.

During a job interview, Cecilia discovers her work portfolio has been compromised, and she faints due to the stress. A doctor later reveals alarmingly high levels of diazepam in her system, casting doubt on her own sanity. Meanwhile, at James’ house, Cecilia uncovers the same bloodied diazepam bottle that had helped her escape Adrian’s clutches.

As tensions simmer, Cecilia turns to Tom for guidance, convinced that Adrian’s death was a ruse to continue his psychological manipulation. However, her theory is dismissed, and instead, she finds herself facing an unseen force that targets James’ teenage daughter Sydney. A desperate Cecilia tries various tactics to uncover the identity of this mysterious aggressor, but her efforts are met with failure.

A crucial turning point comes when Cecilia stumbles upon Adrian’s phone in the attic, which immediately delivers a chilling text message: “surprise”. Feeling uneasy, she decides to take matters into her own hands and sets a trap using paint in the attic. A violent confrontation ensues, but Cecilia manages to escape.

Seeking answers at Adrian’s former residence, Cecilia uncovers an additional invisible bodysuit in his laboratory, solidifying her suspicions about his true fate. As she tries to hide the suit in their former bedroom’s closet, the invisible figure attacks once more, prompting Cecilia to flee and contact Emily. The pair meet at a local restaurant, where tragedy strikes as the invisible figure slashes Emily’s throat and plants the knife in Cecilia’s hand, framing her for murder.

As Cecilia languishes in a psychiatric hospital, awaiting trial, she discovers that she’s expecting a child - a development that sparks both hope and trepidation. Tom offers her a Faustian bargain: drop her charges and raise the unborn child together, provided she agrees to “rekindle their flame.” His ulterior motive becomes apparent when he reveals that Adrian tampered with her birth control, intentionally getting her pregnant as part of his twisted plan. Cecilia refuses Tom’s offer and instead pilfers a fountain pen, which becomes an instrument of her defiance.

That night, consumed by desperation and despair, Cecilia attempts to take her own life, but the invisible figure she’s been taunting materializes, intent on stopping her. As she stabs at him with the pen, the suit begins to malfunction, and the security team rushes in to intervene. However, the figure proves to be a formidable foe, incapacitating the guards before fleeing the hospital with Cecilia hot on his heels.

Determined to protect her unborn child, the figure threatens to harm those she loves, prompting Cecilia to race to James’s home, where she finds him and Sydney under attack. In a desperate bid to save them, she shoots the figure dead, only to discover Tom masquerading beneath the suit. The authorities storm Adrian’s residence, finding him alive and bound, claiming that Tom held him captive.

Following her exoneration, Cecilia engineers a clandestine meeting with Adrian at his home, armed with a wire recorder and James monitoring from a safe distance. She agrees to reconcile their relationship on one condition: Adrian must confess to Emily’s murder. Adrian insists that Tom was the true culprit, but claims that the experience has changed him, rendering him a reformed man. As he utters the word “surprise,” Cecilia excuses herself, allowing her to slip away unnoticed.

Moments later, security footage captures Adrian appearing to slit his own throat. Cecilia returns to find him dying and feigns distress, all while secretly gloating over her cleverness. She leaves Adrian’s lifeless body behind, taking the spare bodysuit with her.

When James arrives on the scene, Cecilia corroborates the camera’s account of events, conveniently leaving out her own culpability in Adrian’s demise. Noticing the suit in her possession, James agrees to keep quiet and allows her to depart, seemingly oblivious to the true extent of her involvement.
