Logline: When a young woman witnesses the impact a terrible accident has had on her loved ones, she is forced to realize what she has lost and finally rest in peace when she decides that her loved one have to move on, too.
We fade into a wide shot of a serene lake and a wide shot of the surrounding trees. We hear some fast footsteps of two people running. There are two people running along a trail bordering the woods and a lake.
Their feet gradually slow to a halt. The guy, Nathan, stops because the young woman, Taylor, is slowing down.
Taylor checks the time on her phone and starts to run away, explaining that she has to go to her sister’s talent show, but the guy tells her to wait as second, reaching his arm out.
They hug each other and Nathan gives the girl a kiss on the cheek. Then Taylor is running toward the street to her car and she pulls out her phone. She starts texting as she runs away, and Nathan starts running again on the trail, away from her.
Taylor is rushing out of the house, shouting behind her to her sister that she’ll be gone all day and that she left some money for food in the kitchen.
The sister, Megan, is in her room with a blank expression on her face. She is looking at a picture of her sister beside a picture of her parents. She takes the picture of her sister and throws it onto the floor.
Taylor stands outside of the house and tries to call Nathan, but he doesn’t answer. She leaves a message about how it’s getting late and she stares at the running shoes on her feet and sighs. She sits on the curb and lies down.
Taylor wakes up to find her little sister sitting on the curb with her backpack not too far away. Her sister takes out a little purse and looks at the few coins in it. Taylor stands up and begins to walk toward her when a hand pulls her away.
She turns around but no one is there. When she turns back to Megan, Nathan approaches and helps Megan up.
They start walking down the sidewalk and Nathan hands Megan a few bucks. Taylor questions why Megan needs money after she left some for her. She starts to follow after them but is pulled leftward toward her house by the mysterious hand.
Taylor regains her balance after being pulled and finds herself on the trail she went running on with Nathan. She spots Nathan alone on the nearby bench with his head in his hands.
He suddenly looks up and turns around to look toward Taylor. Ecstatic at the acknowledgement of her presence, Taylor makes her way toward Nathan, but the hand pulls her to the side to show that the person Nathan was looking at was Megan walking on the trail.
Megan walks slowly toward Nathan as Taylor watches from the side. She sits on the bench beside Nathan. Taylor makes a few steps toward the bench, but is pulled once more by the hand.
As she regains her balance she is standing across the street from an unfamiliar house. Nathan and Megan walk up the pathway toward the front door.
Taylor makes her way across the street, but the hand pulls her back. She turns around but still nothing is there.
The door to the house opens and there is an older couple in the doorway. The female hugs Nathan and Megan, and she smiles and puts her arm around Megan as they walk inside.
Taylor begins to run toward the door to try to catch up to them, but the hand pulls her away as she reaches the door. The door shuts.
Taylor angrily turns around toward the owner of the mysterious hand yelling about how she can’t just let her sister and boyfriend go. Facing her is herself.
The mysterious version of herself walks up to Taylor and puts her hand on her head: A car crash sound is heard, and we see Taylor’s arm on the pavement with traces of blood on it. She is holding her phone.
A half- finished text to be sent to Megan can be seen on the screen that states that Taylor is on her way. Taylor’s “guide” takes her hand off of Taylor. Taylor shows a startled look as she realizes what happened.
Taylor glances behind her at the closed door and then back to herself and nods thoughtfully.
Taylor is on the bench by the trail looking at the text on her phone that she never finished. A hand is put on her shoulder, and we hear a voice saying that it is time to go.
Taylor nods. She disappears to reveal the serene view of the lake.
