A couple's dream renovation of a Malibu beach house becomes a waking nightmare in this tense psychological thriller. Mena Suvari and Todd Grinnell star as the pair who hire a mysterious local contractor, played by Kristin Bauer van Straten, to help restore their coastal retreat. What begins as a promising partnership soon curdles as the contractor's behavior grows increasingly obsessive and intrusive, blurring the lines between professional assistance and personal possession. As strange occurrences escalate within the secluded Paradise Cove, the homeowners find themselves trapped in a dangerous battle of wits against someone who knows the property's secrets far better than they do. Directed by Martin Guigui, the film masterfully builds an atmosphere of sun-drenched dread, where the crashing waves mask sinister intentions and paradise itself becomes a gilded cage. The couple must uncover the truth behind their unwanted guest's fixation before their dream home becomes the site of their ultimate undoing.
