She goes to see a therapist to talk about her fears and the difficulty in having to vary every facet of her life so that no one can track her movements. While discussing the strain on her emotional and mental health, Sawyer admits to the therapist that there have been times that she's felt like harming herself.
As their session ends, the therapist asks her to fill out some paperwork. What Sawyer doesn't realize that is that by signing the papers, she has unknowingly committed herself to 24 hours of observation in the Highland Creek Behavioral Center. Damn Sawyer, don't sign anything without looking at it!
Understandably upset, Sawyer doesn't grasp the situation. She uses her one phone call to ring the police and demand they get her out because she's being kept against her will. Needless to say, it gets her nowhere since detainees always want to get free from the facility.
Once in the ward, Sawyer gets in verbal altercations with other patients and ends up punching an orderly in the face. Poor sweet stupid little Sawyer. That's not how you get out of an asylum. In fact, her violent outburst gets her commitment changed from 24 hours to 7 days.
Another patient in the ward takes pity on her and gives her the best advice anyone is going to give her. Ride out your time, don't upset anyone, keep your head down and don't make waves. He tells her the whole thing is an insurance scam and that when insurance runs out, she'll be free. But Sawyer is unable to control herself. She screams, yells, throws things, and acts out. Basically her aggression gets her sedated and strapped to her bed.
To make matters worse, one day when Sawyer goes to get her medication, there is a new orderly that Sawyer is convinced is her stalker. His name is different, but she knows it's him. Is Sawyer losing it? Is this a hallucination, or is he really her stalker?
The hardest thing about watching this movie is Sawyer can't help but get herself in deeper and deeper. You just want to scream at her because if she could just keep from acting like a crazy person, she'd be so much better off. And it's hard to root for her since she's not a very sympathetic character. You want root for the poor person who's been harassed by a stalker and unknowingly committed herself to an asylum, but Sawyer's just not very likable.
The most interesting thing about the film is it was shot on an iPhone. Don't let that fool you into thinking this is one of those crappy amateur movies where the person behind the camera had no clue about what they were doing. It's professionally shot, and looks good. It makes me want to make a movie on my iPhone... which would totally be a crappy homemade movie shot by someone who had no clue what they were doing.
