Stoker

On her 18th birthday, India Stoker's life takes a tragic turn with the sudden death of her father, Richard, in a horrendous car accident. The shock of losing her father plunges India into a chaotic emotional state as she grapples with grief and isolation.

At Richard's funeral, India and her emotionally unstable mother, Evelyn, encounter Charlie, Richard’s charming brother. Charlie announces his intention to stay and help the grieving family, which pleases Evelyn but raises suspicion in India.

As Charlie integrates into their lives, India witnesses a heated argument between him and Mrs. McGarrick, their house caretaker. Shortly after this confrontation, Mrs. McGarrick mysteriously disappears, igniting India's concerns about Charlie.

India's great aunt, Gwendolyn, visits, raising doubts about Charlie's background. She challenges his travel stories and suggests to Evelyn that Charlie may be hiding a sinister past, causing India to view Charlie with even greater suspicion.

In a chilling event, Charlie tracks down Gwendolyn when she tries to change hotels out of fear. Under the guise of returning her lost phone, he brutally murders her with a belt, revealing the dark side of his seemingly charming persona.

India makes a shocking discovery when she finds Mrs. McGarrick's body hidden in the freezer. This horrifying revelation uncovers Charlie's true nature and the reality that he is a killer, thrusting India deeper into a web of danger.

Overwhelmed by her emotions, India retaliates against a bully named Chris Pitts for his cruel remarks about her mother. In a violent outburst, she stabs him, marking a pivotal moment in her transformation as she embraces violence.

India encounters Whip Taylor at a diner, leading to a chaotic and aggressive interaction where she bites him during an intimate moment. This encounter spirals out of control, culminating in further violence when Charlie intervenes.

When Whip attempts to assault India, Charlie steps in and kills him in a surprisingly calculated manner. This act of violence further intertwines India into Charlie's dark world, revealing how deep their connection has become.

As India attempts to comprehend her chaotic life, she discovers a key to a locked drawer in her father’s office containing letters that expose Charlie's history of lies. The shocking revelation of Charlie's murderous act against his own brother reveals the extent of his dark legacy.

Evelyn's awareness of the truths surrounding Charlie escalates their internal family conflict. In a climactic confrontation, Charlie attempts to strangle Evelyn, showcasing his dangerously possessive nature and the violent tension brewing within.

In an act of desperation and loyalty, India intervenes just as Charlie is about to kill her mother. She fatally shoots Charlie with a hunting rifle, a decision that marks a definitive break from the twisted family dynamic.

After Charlie's death, India takes matters into her own hands by burying his body in the yard. This act of concealment not only signifies her acceptance of her family's darkness but also her transformation into someone capable of such violence.

Following the murder, India decides to escape her troubled life by driving to New York. This journey symbolizes her attempt to break free from her family's legacy while also foreshadowing her further descent into darkness.

India's encounter with Sheriff Howard becomes the ultimate representation of her descent into darkness. After being pulled over, she coldly plunges garden shears into his neck, sealing her transformation and fully embracing her violent legacy.
