| 5 | Joe Rose (Craig), an atheist science journalist, is having a picnic with his common-law wife Clarissa when he hears a man shouting. Not far away, a balloon is floating off with an eight-year-old boy in it. Five men, including Joe, grab onto the ropes hanging from the balloon, but one of the men lets go in mid-air. The others quickly follow suit, excluding one man who dies when he falls from the rope. In the aftermath, Joe meets Jed (Ifans), a Christian fanatic who quickly develops an obsession with Joe that threatens Joe's relationship, his sanity, and his life. |

| 8 | !! This work provides examples of: |
| 9 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Joe acts politely towards the people he meets, particularly Mrs. Logan, yet describes her home in a rather nasty and condescending manner. |
| 10 | * DeusExMachina: The hippies. How the hell does an upper-middle class journalist know hippies who would sell him a gun? Doubles over as a literal ChekhovsGun. |
| 11 | * StalkerWithACrush: Jed. |
| 12 | * UnreliableNarrator: Joe can't even remember what flavour sorbet he had. He's also very closed minded. |
| 13 | * {{Yandere}}: Jed. |
