Expectedly, the film follows a lot of the tropes we know from slasher movies, only this time around our main killer "Heart Eyes" focus solely on couples, and people in love, and our main protagonist Ally (Holt), although she's single and going through a breakup, calls the killer's attentionafter sharing a romantic kiss with her new handsome and charming co-worker Jay (Gooding).
We follow this unlikely couple as they get to know each other in a frantic night while trying to run from this merciless killer, who does not care to kill everything and anything that gets in their way.
