00:00At the beginning of the movie, we see a man, whose name is Vic, after riding a bicycle,
00:05he arrives back home. His wife named Melinda is sitting right outside the house and looks
00:10at him with great wonder. In the next scene, we see that they have a young daughter. She
00:15is listening to her favorite song, to which her mother shouts at her annoyingly. The man
00:21goes into the room, where his wife asks him to choose a dress for her. Later on, his wife
00:26asks him to grab her black shoes for her, which he does happily. So basically this man obeys
00:32whatever his wife orders. They go to a party, where his wife and himself talk to their friends
00:37and drink some beer. Melinda sees her old friend Joe and starts to engage with him, which was
00:43being watched by her husband Vic. It does not take too long for Melinda to take his friend
00:49into private space and start to kiss him. Vic knows what is going on. Even though they catch
00:54each other's eyes, it does not stop Melinda to enjoy her fantasies. When this was not
00:59enough, Melinda starts to dance on top of a piano to grab everyone's attention. Right
01:05after, she starts to play the piano and makes everyone happy. Regardless of her bizarre acts,
01:11Vic smiles at her as if nothing has happened. Later that night, Joe talks to Vic and thanks
01:16to him for letting him see his wife Melinda. Vic tells him to recall a man called Martin McRae,
01:21who recently got missing. Vic suggests to him that he is the one who made him disappear.
01:28Joe thinks it is a joke, but Vic assures him the obvious if he keeps making the same mistake.
01:33Joe leaves the premises right after, meanwhile, Vic's wife Melinda does not appreciate his actions
01:38towards her friend. Later at night, while Vic was talking to their babysitter, Melinda arrives
01:44at the kitchen without any shirt on. Vic does not like this and tries to shoo her away,
01:48this defiantly annoys Melinda and she goes away. We get to know lots of things about Melinda's
01:54character, she is a careless and selfish woman. Vic also has a hobby of keeping snails as his pet.
02:01A couple of days later Vic meets up with his friends, there he gets to know that everyone knows
02:05how he threatened Joe by telling him a Martin McRae joke. They also explain that Melinda is a sick
02:11woman because she does all this in front of Vic. Back at home Melinda gets to know about this as well
02:17and tells Vic to apologize to Joe. She invites him to dinner on Friday. It is Friday and Joe knocks
02:23on the door and finds Vic welcoming him. He is nervous and asks if Melinda is home, to which Vic
02:29again jokes that she isn't home. Later, Vic tells him that they will enjoy some seafood and have
02:34conversations. But, he gets to know that Joe is allergic to seafood. Melinda defiantly knew this
02:40but she did not tell this to Vic. Later at the table, Vic makes Joe some grilled cheese sandwich
02:46and Melinda also starts it as if she is trying to piss his husband off. She sends Vic to take her
02:52daughter to bed and tell her bedtime stories. After telling a bedtime story, later Vic encounters Melinda
02:58and Joe having some fun together. Later Joe expects an apology from Vic because he joked to him about
03:04killing Martin McRae. Vic replies to him that this was not a joke and calls him an Uber.
03:10One day, Vic and Melinda are sitting at a party talking to a writer. He calls him a killer and
03:15jokes about Martin McRae. Vic also dances with another woman, seeing Melinda is jealous and later
03:21compare herself to the women. She also tries to do things with Vic while he is driving. Later while Vic
03:27and Melinda are watching their daughter play, he gets a call from his bank which was about Melinda's bank
03:32account. He gets to know that she sent $3,000 to someone who plays piano and he starts to research
03:38this person further. He ends up to a person, who is an expert pianist and extremely good looking.
03:44Right there, he also encounters Melinda flirting with him. At night Vic welcomes Melinda and asks where
03:51she was. She is looking pretty drunk. While he was driving his daughter home, he again encounters the
03:58pianist walking with flowers. Those flowers are sitting in his home the same day. He is once again
04:04concerned about his wife Melinda having an affair behind his back. He is mostly home, while his wife
04:09is working hard getting smashed by the pianist outside. Vic confronts her for her acts of not
04:15coming home for the whole night and using his money to cheat on him. No matter what he does, this woman
04:20is just purely self-conscious and does not care about his feelings. She even tells Vic that she has an
04:26amazing bedtime with the pianist. Next week, Melinda invites that guy to their party, where Vic and he
04:32even shake hands. He once again finds his wife going intimate with another man. Melinda is so careless
04:38that she would do intimate things in front of his husband too. It starts to rain and everyone goes
04:44inside. They start to enjoy the party once again. The pianist is nowhere to be seen, so Melinda tries
04:50to check on him. She sees him dead inside the pool and starts to scream. Seeing this everyone run
04:56outside and try to rescue him from the pool and try to revive him, but unfortunately nothing works out.
05:02When the police start to investigate, Melinda start to accuse his husband Vic of the murder.
05:08Cops start to question Vic for the obvious, but they did not find anything odd while their talk.
05:13He later asks Melinda if she is scared of him. She says she is not afraid because he took their life
05:19because of her. Later on when Vic is riding his bicycle he imagines Melinda and another guy together
05:24and also sees the flashes, and him taking his life. Later on they invite their friends to dinner.
05:30He tells his friend to stop telling people that he is a killer. He is very suspicious and from time to
05:36time he would have meetings with his wife Melinda about this subject. One day Vic was walking casually
05:42and he suddenly sees a bunch of cameras in his wife's car. He sees his wife sitting with a man,
05:47who calls himself a psychologist. Later he reveals to the wife of his friend that he and Melinda paid
05:53a private detective to investigate him. Which makes the couple shouting at each other. Later on,
05:59Vic figures out that she is seeing yet another man. One day, Melinda's friend Tony meets Vic.
06:05Inside the house, Melinda arrives and hugs Tony like he is her husband. While talking she also reveals
06:11to Vic that Tony was the first American that she slept with. Tony suddenly starts to laugh and blush
06:16about it. Seeing all this, Vic seems a bit upset. Later that evening they start to enjoy the food
06:22and play good music. They start to dance very inappropriately in front of Vic. Vic also encounters
06:29them going upstairs in his bedroom. He sees that she is doing her usual things and they catch each
06:34other's eye. In a few days, Vic tell Tony that Melinda wants to meet him and make him sit inside his
06:40Jeep. He takes him to a really far place from the city. He keeps asking him questions about Melinda
06:46and his dating history. After they are out of the car, he picks up a heavy rock in his hands and
06:51throws it at him. It does not take too long for Vic to take away his life. Right after he puts a heavy
06:58rock on his body and drowns him in the water so that no one can see him. After the incident, he comes back
07:03home happily. The next day they decide to go on a picnic in the same location he took Tony's life.
07:10Later, he accidentally sees that the body can be seen floating on top of the river. At night he gets
07:15to know that she is talking to another man called Don. She asks him to sleep in her room that night
07:20and she reveals that she loves him. Next day, he goes back to the same place to fix his mistake.
07:27While Melinda is able to discover Tony's wallet inside Vic's workplace, Vic is trying to push Tony's
07:32body down into the water, where suddenly a guy arrives. He asks him about his actions and suddenly
07:38he sees a hand that comes out of the river. The old man sees this and starts to run away,
07:43while Vic is following him on his bicycle. The chase goes on for a good minute and in the end,
07:48the old man is met with an accident. Vic goes back home and we see the same scene
07:53we saw at the beginning of the movie. We also see that Melinda put Tony's ID inside the fire
