When Harper asks him what he wants from her, James responds that he "wants her love", which she appears to refuse. The naked man approaches Harper, his ankle now severely broken, and gives birth to the young boy, who in turn gives birth to the vicar, then Geoffrey, and finally James.īoth he and Harper sit on a couch inside the house and begin to reminisce. While attempting to drive away, Harper runs over Geoffrey, who gets the upper hand and drives away with the car before he drives back around, chasing Harper down before crashing the car into a stone wall in front of the house. The vicar attempts to rape Harper, but she stabs him in the stomach and leaves the house. Both the boy and the vicar appear in the house, each of them now similarly injured. When he tries to reach her through the mail slot, Harper stabs him through the arm, but he manages to pull his arm free, the stuck knife ripping his arm in two. As Geoffrey goes into the yard, he is replaced with the naked man, who chases her again. Geoffrey arrives and finds that the window breaking was due to a crow flying into it, which he then euthanizes by breaking its neck. Harper defends herself with a knife before a window breaks in the kitchen. She sees the policeman in her yard, but as the lights flicker, he changes into one of the pub occupants, who then chases her inside the house. As Harper attempts to send Riley the address, her service is repeatedly interrupted. Harper contacts Riley about this, where she agrees to come in the morning. At a pub, filled with other men bearing Geoffrey's appearance including himself, one of the policemen, who also looks like Geoffrey, informs Harper that the man was released as they had no legal ground to keep him detained. Afterwards, Harper visits a church where she meets a young boy and a vicar who both bear a likeness to Geoffrey, with the latter trying to justify James' abuse. 
Harper calls the police, and the man is arrested. Later, as Harper is video chatting with her friend Riley, she observes the man in her garden, having followed her from the tunnel. Reaching an open field, Harper takes a picture with her phone, inadvertently capturing a naked man standing near an abandoned building. A mysterious figure appears at the end of the tunnel and begins chasing her, but she manages to evade it. Harper later goes for a walk in the woods and stumbles upon an old, unused railway tunnel. Sometime later, Harper arrives at the house that she is renting where she is met by its owner Geoffrey. Harper locks James out of the flat before witnessing him fall from an upstairs balcony to his death, being partially impaled by a fence. In flashbacks, it is revealed that Harper, fed up with James' frequent emotional outbursts, intended to divorce him, leading James to threaten her with his suicide and eventually striking her when she continues to rebuff him. Harper Marlowe, a widow, decides to spend a holiday alone in the small village of Cotson following the apparent suicide of her husband James.
