It follows Ray Monroe (Worthington) searching for his missing wife and daughter after suffering a head injury that twists his perception of reality.

Peri's arm is examined by a doctor, and decided it is fractured; Dr. Berthram recommends a CAT scan in case of a head injury.

Ray awakens hours later with a sutured forehead and asks the hospital staff if he can see his wife and daughter, only to find that there's no such record.

Dr. Jacobs asks him to recount what led to the accident— he fabricates memories of the incident, leading the police officers to arrest Ray for murder.

After disarming and locking the officers in the bathroom, Ray drives to the hospital, remembering the car crash that killed a pregnant Abby.

In reality, Ray startled Peri into a fatal fall into the pit; he suffered a severe head injury attempting to catch her.
