Following the apparent suicide of her husband James, Harper Marlowe decides to spend a holiday alone in the village of Cotson, Hertfordshire.

Flashbacks reveal that Harper, tired of James’s emotional abuse and manipulation, intended to divorce him, leading James to threaten her with his suicide. After James punched Harper in the face, he immediately attempted to apologise, but Harper angrily locked him out of the flat. Upon arriving at the country house she is renting, Harper eats the forbidden fruit. Then she is greeted by its eccentric but well-meaning owner, Geoffrey, who gives her a tour of the house. Harper later goes for a walk in the nearby woods and comes across a disused railway tunnel.

At the other end, a human figure begins screaming and running towards her. Frightened, Harper runs back through the forest until she reaches an open field. The next day, during a video call with her friend Riley, Harper spots the same naked man in the front garden, his face covered with bloody scratches, further disturbing her. Realising that the front door is slightly open, Harper quickly shuts and locks it, but the naked man sticks his hand through the letter box.

Harper calls the police and the man is arrested, with one of the arresting officers resembling Geoffrey. Harper visits a church, where images of the Green Man and Sheela na gig are carved on a font. Outside, she meets a young boy and a vicar who both bear a likeness to Geoffrey. Distressed by the recent events, Harper contacts Riley, who offers to drive to the village in the morning to accompany Harper for the rest of her holiday. As Harper attempts to text Riley the address, her mobile phone’s service is repeatedly interrupted. She sees the policeman outside, but as the lights flicker, he disappears. One of the pub’s patrons then appears and chases Harper, who retreats into the house.

As she arms herself with a knife, a window breaks in the kitchen. As Geoffrey goes into the garden, the lights flicker again and the naked man emerges, chasing Harper back into the house. When he reaches through the letter box and grabs Harper’s hand, she stabs him through the arm. He pulls his arm out, the stuck knife ripping his arm in an extreme injury resembling the one James sustained during his fall.
