What Comes Around is a 2022 American drama-thriller film, directed and produced by Amy Redford, from a screenplay by Scott Organ, based upon his play The Thing With Feathers.

It stars Summer Phoenix, Grace Van Dien, Jesse Garcia, Kyle Gallner, Indiana Affleck, Reina Hardesty and Sierra Nicole Rose.

Beth, Anna's mother, has just gotten engaged to her boyfriend, Tim, who is a police officer.

He hands her a collection of Emily Dickinson poems with a note on one of them that says it reminds him of her.

She decides to give him a chance, and the two of them take a walk in the park where he tells her he is 28 years old.

Her friends are coming to take her out for her birthday, and she tells Eric he has to stay there until she gets home because there is no way for him to get past Beth and Tim.

Eric calls from a truck stop on his way home to apologize for leaving.

Tim shows up to retrieve Beth, and he threatens to arrest Jesse if he doesn't leave the family alone.

Beth finds Anna's bags packed in her closet because she plans to leave with him.

Jesse shows Beth a picture in Anna's room that he recognizes from the year he knew her, and her hair is short.

He tells her he has distinct memories of it being long and has a meltdown in which he questions his version of the story, believing he might be delusional after all.
