Episode Details

It was raining when I saw her—a young woman huddled beneath the concrete overpass, soaked to the bone, her hair plastered to her face, her eyes hollow. She said her name was Mara. She said she had nowhere to go. She said she'd only stay for the night. I should have said no. I should have driven past. I should have trusted the feeling in my gut that told me something was wrong. But I didn't. I brought her home. And now I can't remember what she did after I turned off the lights. I only know that when I woke up, she was standing over me. And she was smiling.

In this episode, we explore a first-person horror story about a chance encounter on a rainy night that turns into a nightmare. A kind stranger offers shelter to a woman in need, only to discover that his act of compassion has invited something into his home that he can't get out. As the days pass and the woman's presence becomes more invasive, more possessive, he realizes that she isn't a victim. She's a predator. And the only way to escape her is to figure out what she is—before she takes everything he has left.
