action
Scarlet and Chad leave their homes to start a new life in Seattle . The two have had a difficult time: their newborn son Günther was born with a disability and died a short time later. Chad plagues high gambling debts and his creditors plague Scarlet. They give away their furniture to their neighbors Rebecca and Jonas and drive away with a few belongings. The long drive takes you through a deserted area. Chad falls asleep at the wheel after eight hours of driving and comes off the road. He destroys a junction box and the two end up unharmed in a ditch. Since their cell phones have no reception, they cannot call for help. Your only hope is a lonely house on a hillside surrounded by vines . There they meet the residents Samael and Lilith, who say they run a winery there. They are supported by the deaf Alal, who is treated condescendingly by Samael. Scarlet and Chad, however, are welcomed in a friendly manner. Samael notices that the phone is no longer working and therefore offers the two of them to spend the night in their house: The nearest workshop is far away and can no longer be reached today. The couple gratefully accepts the offer and stays for dinner. Scarlet and Chad are initially confused when they are both supposed to spend the night in separate rooms, each with a single bed. But in the absence of an alternative, they decide to stay at the winery.
Chad cannot sleep at first. He is amazed at the flickering light in an adjacent shed where he suspects Alal, but then lies down again. Sometime later, Chad wakes up again and watches Samael and Lilith have sex . When Lilith notices him, he first returns to his room, but then sneaks through the house, where he meets Lilith again. They both go back to their rooms and Chad finally falls asleep. A short time later, Scarlet is surprised in his sleep by Samael and abducted. Chad wakes up to a noise, opens the door and is suddenly attacked and knocked down by Samael.
When he wakes up again, he sits tied up in the attic of the shed and has to watch how Samael fixes his Scarlet on a device and soaks it upside down in a tub filled with water , so that it threatens to drown. Samael asks Chad, who is still handcuffed, to save Scarlet by putting a rope in his mouth that he can use to operate the device. But Chad's strength is not enough and so he has to watch as his girlfriend's head sinks into the vat. Samael and Lilith leave the shed to have sex again. Chad manages to burn his bonds by an open fireplace and free Scarlet from the bracket. He manages to revive her and the two want to flee through an open window. With the help of Alal, Scarlet manages to escape into the vineyards, while Lilith forces Chad at a gunpoint to get back into the shed. There he snatches the gun from her and knocks her unconscious. Scarlet and Alal, on the other hand, are pursued by Samael into the vineyard; there he can take Alal under his control while Scarlet flees. Samael stabs Alal's eye and threatens to destroy the other eye if Scarlet does not voluntarily return to him. She obeys, is tied to a chair by Lilith in the kitchen and tortured on her lower leg with a kitchen grater . Meanwhile, Samael goes looking for Chad. He in turn returns to the kitchen and fights with Lilith. He manages to stick a meat thermometer in her temple and kill her with it. He frees Scarlet, but when the two want to flee, Samael enters the kitchen. There is a duel between the two men. But this time it's Scarlet who saves Chad and stabs Samael in the back with a knife. When they both want to flee in Samael's car, they are followed by him. Chad runs over him several times and drives his car into the night.
After many hours of driving through the darkness, they both wonder about the lack of dawn . Eventually the gasoline runs out and the car stops. You exit the vehicle and walk to a dark house. Once there, they have to find that they are back in front of the winery. Samael and Lilith stand behind them as undead. They confront the couple with the fact that they have a great deal of guilt and that they are damned. Chad pleads with them to just kill him, but the two make it clear that they have already been killed in the car accident. Now an uninjured Alal appears and opens a barn door, from which the evil emerges in the form of an old man. It's the same man Scarlet met as a young child at her father's funeral in a church. He saw Scarlet's "potential" to do evil back then - just like her mother. She killed Scarlet's father, who had abused the young girl over and over again . And it was evil that gave the now grown-up Scarlet the idea of drowning their son in a bathtub in order to pay off their gambling debts with life insurance . Scarlet begs evil for mercy and asks for a second chance. However, evil is not sure if Scarlet would really decide otherwise if given the chance again. In the last scene, Scarlet can be seen with her son, how she puts him in the bathtub and drowns, while Chad watches in the next room without doing anything. From the off you can hear her voice answering "No" to this question.
