Liam Hartwell (Diego Klattenhoff) wakes up from a car crash with no memories, even his own name. He waves down a passing car and driver dies. He finds a roadside diner and everybody is dead. Fearing toxic air, he barricades himself in a house. He tries to wave off a man but he also drops dead. He approaches a crow and it drops dead. He realizes that he's the cause of the deaths. A Jane Doe (Charlotte Sullivan) happens upon the house and he's surprised that she doesn't die. She is similarly afflicted with amnesia and they are apparently connected through an inciting incident.
I like the initial concept. I'm more leery of the Jane Doe addition and the complication to the initial concept. I'm willing to go with it as long as it gets to a satisfying sci-fi explanation. Then the movie gets to the final reveal. It's a detour to something else. I'm waiting for the sci-fi plot and it does something else. The sci-fi premise seems to be sidelined for this ending. The incident can't be that simple. It needs to be something more. While I appreciate the writing of the twist, it's a detour down the wrong path.
