Plot Progression

1. The Roadside Accident — A family drives home after Thanksgiving while marital tension grows. A stop at a gas station ends with Peri falling into an exposed pit.
2. The Hospital Vanishing — Peri appears to receive treatment for a broken arm and is taken for a scan. Afterward, hospital staff deny that Joanne and Peri were ever admitted.
3. Evidence Against Reality — The distressed patient is restrained and sedated, then escapes and seeks police help. Evidence at the gas station contradicts the hospital narrative and intensifies the crisis.
4. The Operating Theatre — Returning to the hospital, the distressed patient fights through security and discovers Peri's apparent organ harvesting. Joanne appears drugged and trapped in the same operation.
5. The Delusion Breaks — The apparent rescue gives way to the truth: Joanne and Peri died at the pit, and the hospital events were generated by denial. An unconscious patient remains in the car.
