Iris's desperate search for her missing sister, Iris, takes a dark and unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a chilling pattern: a string of missing women, all victims of a man consumed by Capgras disorder. This man, trapped in a deluded reality, believes these women might be his long-lost mother, a twisted obsession that fuels his deadly actions. As Iris delves deeper into the investigation, her own desire to find her sister is complicated by the fact that she partly wants to find her sister so that she isn't burdened with the caregiving of her aging father who she doesn't get along with, but also her own desire to raise her son in a better environment and be the perfect mother. The deeper Iris probes, the more entangled she becomes in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Her personal connections and emotional vulnerabilities are exploited by the very darkness she seeks to expose. In a heart-pounding climax, Iris's quest for answers inadvertently places her own child in the path of an even more covert predator, forcing her to confront the devastating consequences of her pursuit and the terrifying fragility of the human mind.
