Reminiscent of Nick and Amy in Gone Girl, Jack and
Maria have a tortuous history. Currently, they live in a
claustrophobic Manhattan apartment with their eight-year-old
son, Jonah. Jack has quit booze, but his music career ended
abruptly, and he isn’t doing much better as a real estate
agent. Maria’s doing well at her corporate job, but she
travels frequently. While they both love their son, they
don’t seem to have much else in common and their sex life is
nonexistent.
When a former band member tells Jack about a new
extramarital dating app called Discreet Hookups, Jack
quickly meets Sophia, who goes by the online name Fugitive
Red. Jack and Sophia hit it off and have a steamy online
affair. When Jack agrees to rendezvous with Sophia at her
townhouse, he discovers her dead—strangled by a red necktie.
Immediately, Jack becomes a person of interest in the
murder. Convinced that Sophia’s husband is the killer, Jack
sets out to prove his innocence and save his marriage.
Instead, he leaves a trail of dead bodies in his wake, and
the police close in on him. Worse, he discovers that he has
been the victim of a sinister scheme that may cost him his life.
