Isiseko sokuqalisa kancinci, esabekwa ngo-1985, simalunga nentombazana egama linguJane Ryer osapho lwayo lwabulawa ngokumangalisayo kwindlu esefama, lamshiya yedwa osindileyo. Ityala alisoze lisonjululwe kwaye uJane ukhula abe mhle, umphunga ka-Abbie Cornish).Amashumi amabini anesihlanuKwiminyaka kamva, uJane wayefote ngokufota ngokuthatha imifanekiso yezindlu ezindala kunye nabantu ababehlala kuzo. Utshatile, ndinomyeni nentombi yakhe, kwaye unesiphene ukukhathazeka. Xa ingozi yemoto iphazamisa ingqondo yakhe kwaye imbeka esibhedlele, uthatha isigqibo, njengoGregory Peck phakathi Ukupela, ukubonisana nogqirha wengqondo (Justin Long) omnyanzelayo ukuba akhumbule. Kungekudala kufika ibhokisi engaqondakaliyo isongelwe ngeribhoni ebomvu kwaye ngaphakathi kukho ijack efana nezo wayeqhele ukudlala nazo njengomntwana. Endleleni yakhe ebuyela kwindlu endala yasefama apho kwenzeka khona ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi, Ujonge umalume wakhe owahlukanisiweyo (inkcitho kaDermot Mulroney) ngenjongo ethile kwenzeka kusapho lwakhe. Umnika isitshixo kwityotyombe elidala eligudileyo athi, Nguwe wedwa owaziyo ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kanye kulondlu. Kwaye akukho mntu unxulumene le fiasco engathandekiyo sele iza kuyicacisa kuthi sonke.
Ibhalansi yomdlalo bhanyabhanya imalunga nokujongana kukaJane neendlela ezahlukeneyo ezingaphefumlelwanga ezisongela impilo yakhe kunye nosapho lwakhe: iingcango ezivaliweyo, ibhaluni ebomvu edada phezu kwebala lombona eliqhotyoshelwe Isitshixo esirusi, izandla ezolulela phantsi kwebhedi ukuze zimbambe ngonyawo. Iimpawu zekamva lakhe elidlulileyo, inkumbulo yakhe kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho zihlala zifika kwiibhokisi zezipho ezingummangaliso. Kukho imifuno ebomvu ebomvu, iziporho kwizitepsi nasemva kwamakhethini, kunye nemingxunya engaphezulu kwesiqwenga kunesefu. Akukho nto ibonakala ngathi kwaye akukho namnye wabalinganiswa abamele ukuba ngabo. Kwanokuncipha yinto ebhadlileyo yokucinga kukaJane-endaweni katata wakhe ofileyo. Ngubani othumela iibhokisi? Yintoni evula isitshixo? Kutheni le nto uJane eqhubeka nokuzama ukukrwitsha owakhe umntwana? Kutheni le ngoma icula iLavender eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ingangxengwanga… (yiyo loo nto isihloko Ilavenda, Yifumane?) Thumela uJane kuyo I-paroxysm yoloyiko? Ukuba le nto ikhokelwe ngu-Alfred Hitchcock, u-Ingrid Bergman uya kubonisa phezulu kwaye ugcine usuku ngaphambi komnyama unyuka izinyuko ephethe isando ngesandla. Kodwa ilawulwa yindoda enegama eliqanjiweyo uEd Gass-Donnelly, obhale lo mbhalo we-idiotic kunye noColin Frizzell, konke oko kunokuba ububhanxa kwaye uhlekise ngokungahambelani, kwaye endaweni yokukhwaza ngexhala ndiqikelela ukuba uza kuchitha isiqwenga somboniso ujonge iwotshi yakho ukubona ukuba lingakanani ixesha osele nalo kwimitha yokupaka.
