Plot summary
Adrian Griffin, a wealthy optics engineer and the founder of Cobalt, keeps Cecilia Kass in an abusive relationship at his highly secured house. One night she drugs him with her diazepam and slips away; a car alarm wakes him and he almost catches her, but her younger sister Emily helps her escape. Cecilia takes refuge with her childhood friend James Lanier, a San Francisco police detective, and his teenage daughter Sydney. Two weeks later, Adrian's lawyer and younger brother Tom Griffin brings word that Adrian has killed himself and left Cecilia $5 million. She accepts the inheritance, and strange events in the house convince her an unseen presence is watching her, though James tells her she is traumatized and imagining things.
