A man running from a violent past crashes his stolen yacht on a lush, Earth-like world. Stranded and alone, he expects death, but instead finds a paradise of gentle fauna, perfect weather, and no signs of civilization. Then a woman appears—beautiful, friendly, and seemingly also a castaway. Their instant connection feels like salvation.

But the idyll is fragile. Haunted by the crime that drove him into space, he grows restless and suspicious. The woman’s story doesn’t add up; the world around him begins to feel too perfect, too tailored to his desires. When his deepest fears surface, the paradise reveals a darker truth—one that may be shaped by his own guilt.

As trust fractures and paranoia takes hold, the line between reality and projection blurs. The woman he loves might not be what she seems, and his relentless quest for certainty pushes them toward a devastating confrontation, where the greatest danger may be his own mind.
