BEFORE YOU START

The premise

Tricia and Ethan, newly married, visit the isolated former home of psychiatrist Adrienne Hale, who is missing. Kept there by a winter storm, Tricia finds recordings of Hale's patient sessions.

Why the setup appeals

A house cut off
The storm removes the easy exit, so the couple stays where Hale once lived.
Sessions on record
What Tricia finds is a record of a psychiatrist's work with her patients.
