Synopsis

College student Claire Parker leaves her night job and happens to ride in a car driven by a suspicious man. Once safely home, Claire lets out a sigh of relief only to find the man mysteriously inside. After being dragged into her dark basement, Claire is murdered in the most gruesome way imaginable. And the next day, she's still alive. Was it only a dream? But for some reason, she goes through the same event over and over again. To break this nightmarish cycle, she must uncover the truth.
