Description: Jack and Maria live in a claustrophobic Manhattan apartment with their eight-year-old son, Jonah. Jack has quit booze, but his music career ended abruptly, and he isn't doing much better as a real estate agent. Maria is doing well at her corporate job, but she travels frequently. While they both love their son, they don't seem to have much else in common. When a friend tells Jack about a new extramarital dating app, Jack meets Sophia, who goes by the online name Fugitive Red. Jack and Sophia have a steamy online affair, but when Jack agrees to meet Sophia in person, he discovers her dead. Immediately, Jack becomes a person of interest. A furious Maria locks Jack out of their apartment and cuts off access to their joint accounts. Jobless and penniless, Jack sets out to prove his innocence. A trail of dead bodies results as the police close in on him. Worse, he discovers that he has been the victim of a sinister scheme that may cost him his life.
