Ethan (Mark Duplass) and Sophie (Elizabeth Moss) are in marriage counseling after Ethan cheated on Sophie. The therapist (Ted Danson) suggests going on a weekend getaway to a remote estate, claiming that every couple who went there came back "renewed."
Exploring the estate, Ethan and Sophie separately discover something odd about the guest house. Each spends time there without the other and, while Sophie ostensibly thinks their experiences in the guest house will save their marriage, Ethan sees the inexplicable and immediately becomes suspicious.
The ensuing disagreement about whether the guest house experiences are beneficial or harmful (and possibly dangerous) begin to break down the fragile connection they have remaining.
And just when you think you know what's going on, it changes. And that's where the writers dropped the ball and provided a thoroughly predictable ending. This would have been a fantastic science fiction story, but it wasn't.
