Possession

Jess is a driven lawyer who puts her career above her personal life. She and Ryan are happy but unsettled by Roman's volatile presence. Jess first met Ryan through representing his brother in court on an aggravated assault charge, a connection that binds their lives together.

Ryan and Jess discuss sending Roman to a halfway house to curb his behavior. Roman overhears the plan, packs his bags, and leaves in his car in a burst of anger. The moment marks a clear fracture in the brothers' already strained dynamic.

The brothers collide on the Golden Gate Bridge, leaving both seriously injured. Jess rushes to the hospital and learns that Roman and Ryan are in comas. The accident shifts the focus from their relationship to the fragile line between life and death.

Casey arrives at the hospital and offers support to Jess. Later, Jess finds one of Ryan's weekly handwritten love letters in her mail, a reminder of his ongoing devotion. The letters keep Jess clinging to the hope that Ryan will recover and return to her.

Weeks after awakening, Roman sits up in the hospital and insists he is Ryan, begging Jess to believe him. He hints at something supernatural that happened when they were revived side by side. His certainty unsettles Jess and unsettles the truth further.

Jess remains doubtful and tries to recover memories, enlisting Casey's help to separate fact from fiction. Roman keeps recounting private memories of their life together, aiming to convince her. The memory tug-of-war strains their fragile reunion.

After a full year, Roman recalls the backstory behind a photograph and Jess comes to believe he is truly her husband. They resume their romantic life, choosing to trust again. Casey reacts with disapproval, continuing to see through the deception.

Jess and Ryan are thrilled by the news that they are going to have a baby, a sign of their renewed life together. The pregnancy, however, brings its own questions about Ryan's true identity and what it means for their future. They move forward with cautious optimism.

Casey goes missing, and when the police question them, Ryan brushes off concerns, saying she was 'troubled.' The uncertainty around Casey's fate deepens Jess's suspicion. The household atmosphere turns tense as investigators press for answers.

Jess notices a discrepancy with a necklace and discovers the original necklace hidden in a picture frame. She realizes that Roman has studied their photos and letters to imitate Ryan and fool her. The deception reshapes the trust she placed in him.

When confronted, Roman grows violent and reveals his ability to manipulate the situation. He confirms the murder of Casey out of a misguided belief that they were meant to be together.

As Jess confronts Roman, Ryan in the hospital experiences a seizure. He holds Roman back through a mental link they developed during the crash, while Jess stabs Roman with a pottery knife. Roman dies as the doctors work to save Ryan.

Ryan pulls through his episode, and the baby remains unharmed. Jess sits by his bedside, promising to wait for him and start their life over once he returns to her. The moment seals a fragile, renewed commitment.

As Jess leaves the hospital, a man helps tie her necklace back on. She turns to thank him, only to find no one there, and she smiles, knowing it was Ryan guiding her from beyond the veil.
