"Green's" wife, Angela, didn't come home last night or the night before that. In fact, she's been missing for six days, and people are starting to suggest that Green had something to do with her disappearance. Some even believe he murdered her.
But ever since Angela failed to come home that evening, strange and unexplained things have been happening to her husband. One night, Green rushes over to his wife's old apartment and discovers a cell phone that seems to belong to her; he also encounters something dark lurking her bedroom.
When he finally manages to leave, the cell phone he found provides the first clue about what might have happened to his wife. As he begins to follow the clues, Green soon discovers that the path to solving this mystery is filled with peril and forces he could not have imagined.
