In the tense drama-thriller Wake, a seemingly perfect wedding celebration descends into a night of chaos and suspicion. The bride, Cara, played by Bijou Phillips, is determined to have a flawless day, but her plans unravel when her troubled brother, Tyler (Ian Somerhalder), arrives and a shocking disappearance throws the entire event into disarray. As the frantic search begins, long-buried family secrets and simmering resentments surface among the guests, including the concerned mother portrayed by Jane Seymour and the increasingly erratic groomsman, played by Danny Masterson.

Directed by Ellie Kanner, the film masterfully builds an atmosphere of claustrophobic dread within the opulent setting, transforming a joyous occasion into a pressure cooker of paranoia. With each passing minute, alliances shift and trust erodes, forcing Cara and the others to question everything they thought they knew about their loved ones. As the night wears on, the line between victim and perpetrator blurs, leading to a series of revelations that threaten to destroy more than just the wedding.
