The story
On Father's Day weekend, architect Evan Webber remains home alone while his wife and children go on vacation. During a rainstorm, two young women, Genesis and Bel, knock on his door claiming they need to use the internet and dry off. Evan allows them inside, but as the evening progresses, the women begin to push his boundaries and flirt with him. What begins as a simple act of hospitality quickly escalates into a tense situation as the girls' behavior becomes increasingly erratic and their demands on Evan's boundaries grow more intense, leaving him to navigate their escalating presence in his home.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
During a rainy Father's Day weekend, architect Evan Webber is alone at home while his family is away. Two women, Genesis and Bel, seek shelter and eventually engage in a sexual encounter with him. The next morning, the women become destructive and refuse to leave, eventually vandalizing his wife's sculpture. When Evan tries to force them out, they threaten him with legal repercussions. After a series of escalating confrontations, Evan is eventually attacked and tied up. The women then orchestrate a series of events to make it appear as though Evan had an affair and killed a man named Louis, who had come to the house. They ultimately reveal that their actions were part of a 'game'—a hobby of seducing and ruining the lives of married men. They leave Evan for their next victim, while his wife and children return to find the house destroyed.
