Sam (Drew Fonteiro) wakes up where he shouldn't be - in bed with the wife of one of his friends, who has been way for a year in the military, thus giving Sam the chance to act on his love for Mia (Melissa Macedo). She has slept with him, but this morning seems to have second thoughts about her behaviour and can't get away fast enough, as Sam goes into the shower. As he is in the bathroom, he suffers a brief blackout, a blinding headache he cannot explain, but recovers and thinks no more of it, yet these blackouts will grow ever more frequent as he goes through his day and his job as a paramedic alongside best pal Jay (Marc Menchaca), who is a lot more devil may care about everything in a way the more serious Sam is not...
There's a reason for Sam's seriousness, and also those blackouts, which will become apparent the further this progressed, for this was no ordinary drama about adultery and guilt, though it was that as well. What writer and director Robi Michael added to this to make it stand out more was the supernatural element, therefore what began as a straightforward story of the lead character's affairs of the heart with the odd stylistic quirk added (most obviously the subjective, first person camera that opened the movie) gradually transformed into a thriller plot as Tyler (Tyler Fleming), the cuckolded husband, returns home to Mia and let's say, does not take his wife's infidelity very well, to put it mildly. This results in an act of murder that you would not have anticipated.
Except you would, of course, for it was clear there was more going on here than met the eye, with its regular flashbacks to Sam's childhood where it appears he accidentally caused the death of his little sister and has harboured the regret ever since. But is all as it seems? You get the idea, Michael wanted to pull the rug out from under the audience more than once throughout the running time, which they kind of achieved, though the atmosphere was one of such mystery that you would be tending to second guess the plot over and over, especially when the deliberate pace and gradual reveals encouraged you to be one step ahead. That it may not turn out quite as you expect was to the film's credit, however that was largely down to a hefty dose of spiritual matters that threatened to overpower the rest of the movie, entirely on purpose, that was.
