Driving cross-country, Ray and his wife and daughter stop at a highway rest area where his daughter falls and breaks her arm. After a frantic rush to the hospital and a clash with the check-in nurse, Ray is finally able to get her to a doctor. While the wife and daughter go downstairs for an MRI, Ray, exhausted, passes out in a chair in the lobby. Upon waking up, they have no record or knowledge of Ray's family ever being checked in.
Critics were largely cool on this Netflix psychological thriller, finding it too derivative of its genre predecessors to generate real tension. Sam Worthington's performance drew some credit, but most reviewers felt the familiar premise and sluggish direction undercut whatever intrigue the mystery setup promised.
“a serious level of predictability no matter how hard Anderson tries to throw you off”

“When I wasn't busying myself making an internal checklist of films I was reminded of, I was happily playing armchair detective, curious enough to engage with the pieces I was given”
