The Gift

Simon and Robyn Callum face the emotional turmoil of a heartbreaking miscarriage, setting the stage for their journey of healing. This loss weighs heavily on their relationship, prompting them to seek a fresh start away from their past in Chicago.

The couple relocates to California, searching for a new beginning and a sense of normalcy. They settle into a charming home that is closely tied to Simon's past, creating new memories while grappling with their trauma.

At a furniture store, Simon encounters Gordo, an enigmatic man who claims to be an old high school acquaintance. Simon does not initially recognize Gordo, who soon begins to insert himself into their lives, setting off a series of unsettling events.

In an effort to be friendly, Gordo brings a bottle of wine as a housewarming gift to the Callum home. This gesture is the first of many that blur the lines between neighborly kindness and intrusion.

Robyn invites Gordo over when Simon is at work, during which Gordo begins to bring up Simon's past, causing discomfort. His drunken comments about Simon’s privileged life raise red flags, and Simon's disapproval grows.

As Gordo's presence becomes more intrusive, Simon's paranoia escalates. He scribbles 'Weirdo' next to Gordo’s name on their fridge, reflecting his growing disdain and discomfort in having Gordo in their lives.

Gordo continues to overstep boundaries by leaving gifts and meddling with the Callums’ home. An unexpected dinner invitation further intensifies Simon’s unease, and he begins to suspect Gordo's true intentions.

During an awkward dinner at Gordo's home, Simon whispers derogatory remarks about Gordo's intentions towards Robyn. This dinner becomes a breaking point that heightens the tension between Simon and Gordo.

Robyn becomes increasingly unsettled as she discovers dead koi fish and their dog missing. These alarming events trigger her fears about Gordo and mark a turning point in her perception of him.

After an unsettling encounter with Gordo, Robyn learns from the police about Gordo's troubled history. This revelation paints a disturbing picture and leads to increased tension in the Callum household.

Months after the turmoil, Robyn discovers she is unexpectedly pregnant. However, the shadows of Gordo's harassment loom over their lives, complicating what should be a joyous occasion.

Robyn’s investigation into Simon's past reveals a dark history of bullying towards Gordo. This knowledge not only shatters Robyn’s view of Simon but also sheds light on Gordo's motives for his current actions.

The couple attends a celebratory dinner for Simon’s job promotion. However, the evening takes a chaotic turn, culminating in a confrontation with Danny, Simon's former colleague, and further unraveling the tension.

As the chaos ensues during the dinner, Robyn unexpectedly goes into labor. This moment introduces emotional trauma and urgency, forcing Simon to confront multiple crises simultaneously.

Simon discovers Gordo's sinister plans through a baby bassinet containing evidence of his psychological torment. The revelation leads Simon to confront the consequences of his past actions, drowning him in despair.
