Geschichte
In Oklahoma, Agnes, a troubled waitress living alone in a rundown motel after escaping her abusive ex-husband Goss, befriends Peter, an enigmatic drifter with severe paranoia. Their relationship deepens, but things take a dark turn when Peter becomes convinced that bugs are taking over his body and Agnes' motel room. Agnes, initially skeptical, starts experiencing strange occurrences herself, leading her to believe in Peter's delusions. The situation spirals into claustrophobic madness as the pair become increasingly isolated from reality, with Agnes ultimately having to confront the terrifying truth about their shared fate.
