A Daughter’s Nightmare

After the death of her father, Ariel Morgan returns to college and meets fellow student Ben Woods. Over the next weekend, Ben and his father Adam offer Ariel a ride home. During the ride, Ariel explains that her mother plans to attend a grief group.

Adam attends the grief group and introduces himself to Dana, explaining that his wife died eight months ago.

Adam arrives at Dana's house with his dog and two cups of coffee. Dana invites him in, and Ariel takes one of the coffees. Soon after, Ariel feels sick and asks her mother to drive her back to college.

Adam picks up Dana for a grief group meeting, but en route he convinces her to join him for dinner instead of going to the group.

The next morning, Dana wakes up in her own bedroom. Adam arrives at the house with homemade breakfast, which Ariel's uncle Cameron eats.

Adam meets Ariel at school and gives her two tickets for the Dixie Chicks concert that night so that Ariel can take Dana out for a break.

Ariel goes to the concert; however, Ben shows up and explains that Dana told him to use her ticket. Meanwhile, Adam goes to Dana's house with flowers.

The next morning, Dana finds herself naked in bed, feeling like she was drugged.

A home cleaning service worker finds Cameron dead in his house. Ariel and Dana are talking about Cameron's death when Dana suddenly collapses.

Ariel hurries to call an ambulance, but Adam tells her that Dana does not need an ambulance. He claims to be a nurse and knows what he's doing.

The next morning, Adam takes breakfast to Dana in bed. She asks him what he has done to her and why she can't walk, but he ignores her questions and writes a note for Ariel under Dana's name, explaining that she is going away with Adam.

When Ben's eye starts bleeding, Ariel takes him to the hospital. Tests reveal a large dose of ethambutol in his blood, explaining that it is an antibiotic to treat tuberculosis. Ben deduces that Adam must be drugging him and Dana.

Ariel and Ben track down Adam and rescue Dana. They confront him and alert the authorities.

Adam is captured and brought to trial, where he is convicted of kidnapping and sentenced to prison.
