Athena operates a downtown beauty salon where she begins receiving mysterious calls and texts from an unknown caller. Initially dismissing these communications as harmless, her perspective shifts when the messages escalate into genuine threats. Concerned for her safety, her best friend Bethany encourages Athena to involve law enforcement and file an official police report. As the threatening incidents progress from messages to real-world actions, a detective is assigned to investigate the case. Now Athena finds herself working closely with the detective to uncover the identity of her stalker and determine the motive behind the harassment. The investigation becomes complicated as professional boundaries blur, and the detective begins to develop romantic feelings for Athena. The central question becomes whether he can solve the case and apprehend the threat to her safety before his personal feelings for her compromise his judgment and objectivity as an investigator.
