Synopsis

New mom Beth (Leighton Meester) flies to Croatia for a getaway trip arranged by her newly divorced best friend, Kate (Christina Wolfe). At dinner, Beth confides that her marriage to her husband Rob (Luke Norris) has hit a dull patch and is uncertain what to do. That night, they go clubbing and two men flirt with them. Kate suggests Beth have a one-night-stand.The next morning, Beth wakes up foggy about the night's events, realizing Kate is missing. She speaks to the AirBnb apartment owner Sebastian who says he will charge them extra for the 2 guys they brought home the previous night. After contacting Rob and Kate's ex Jay (Parth Thakerar), both dismissing her concerns given Kate's self-centered and wild personality, she contacts the police, also indifferent.

Only Zain (Ziad Bakri), the Syrian taxi driver (whom Beth tipped every time) who drove them to the club, is empathetic and agrees to help. With his help, Beth recovers Kate's purse and phone, and learns the men from the club were escorts (Mateo (Lujo Kuncevic) & Luka (Marko Braic)), hired by Kate. However, they're con men who drug and rob the women they service, like Kate and Beth.

With this new information, Beth returns to the police who finally start an official investigation into Kate's disappearance. She is tested for drugs and sexual assault. Beth calls Kate's boyfriend Jay, who says he hasn't spoken to Kate for weeks.Rob also arrives in Croatia and immediately suspects Zain. Kate's body is found shortly after in the water, to Beth's horrified grief. She unlocks Kate's phone using her face at the morgue. Searching her phone for clues, she finds text messages between Rob and Kate revealing an affair.

Beth is called into the police station, as their new primary suspect. It is revealed that both Kate and Beth had drugs in their systems, something Beth suspected due to her memory loss and insists she was drugged. The police interviewed the two escorts, who have no criminal history and deny any wrongdoing. The police confiscate her passport as they continue to investigate her. Beth calls Jay and finds out he knew Rob and Kate were having an affair. She speaks to Zain, but rules out Rob as Kate's killer as he was home with their baby over the weekend.Beth calls Rob and confronts him that she knows they were having an affair.

The police come and arrest Beth. The police tell her Zain has connections to a human-trafficking gang, accusing Beth of hiring him to murder Kate because of the affair with her husband. Beth confronts Zain, who says the gang transported him into the country and nothing more, insisting he had nothing to do with Kate's murder.Beth is alarmed as to how the police knew that Rob was having an affair with Kate. She finds that her room is bugged.

While the Airbnb host Sebastian (Adrian Pezdirc) is away, Beth sneaks into his private recording studio, discovering he secretly records all of his renters. Searching the footage, Beth sees she was put in bed early the night Kate went missing. It also shows Kate being robbed by the escorts, getting in a car to report it, and eventually returning in a different car. Beth writes down the license plate number. Sebastian returns and Kate and he fight. Sebastian deletes all the videos, but Beth is able to escape.She runs outside and Zain is there. They go to the taxi company and interview the driver who drove Kate that night. He said Kate had him drive her to follow the two men, and eventually he dropped her off at the police station.

On the news, Beth is named a suspected murderer and while out looking for clues, Zain and Beth are reported by locals, so the police come to arrest them. when Pavic comes to arrest Beth, she discovers that it was Pavic's (Amar Bukvic) car who dropped Kate back that night, the policeman who doubted her story. Pavic was involved in Kate's disappearance.Zain gives himself up so Beth can escape, but she's caught by Pavic. She accuses him of killing Kate because she rejected his advances and, during their struggle, he falls off the building's ledge to his death. Beth learns that Pavic had a history of assaulting sex workers, but he couldn't be fired due to a lack of evidence and he was moved to tourism. Due to the autopsy report, it's believed that Pavic hit Kate on the back of the head and dumped her in the local river while she was still alive. Beth is declared innocent and she thanks Zain for his help.

Sometime later, Beth gets an SMS from Zain on her way to dropping Aster off at Rob's for a visit, reading "See you soon". Rob wants reconciliation, but she refuses. While seeking her car keys, Beth finds black onyx beads from the necklace she gave Kate in Rob's coat pocket. She realizes Rob killed Kate and, while on the line with the police, confronts him. He admits he flew to Croatia to stop Kate from revealing their affair. In flashbacks, it's shown that Rob was willing to leave Beth for Kate. But Kate called the affair the biggest mistake of her life and planned to tell Beth. However, Rob tells Beth it was the other way around. He admits he got angry and became aggressive with Kate, pushing her into the water before running off.

Beth realizes Kate had invited her to Croatia to remind her of who she was before Rob and that she deserved better. As the police recorded his confession, local police are sent to the house. Beth leaves with her baby as Rob is arrested.
