JENNA (32) is calling stage directions for a play. SAM (32) asks her on their third date after the show. Jenna notices that one of the actresses is missing. Another stagehand, CHARI, says she’s nowhere to be found.
Jenna looks for the missing actress, Madison, and finds her dead, skewered by a lamp. Jenna looks for two other missing actors. She’s attacked by one of them who has been infected by a rage virus, yielding a broken bottle as a weapon. He cuts Jenna’s throat.
A few months later, Jenna convinces the artistic director, RICHARD NORTHRUP (50s) to let her direct a production of Othello. Oregon is also experiencing a lot of wildfires, making the air smokey.
At the first rehearsal, Sam plays Othello.
In a flashback, we see how Sam saved Jenna from being killed. He was also cut by the broken bottle.
Sam and Jenna agree to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
Jenna is skateboarding home and she hears someone chasing her. As she tries to skate faster, she falls and loses her board.
Sam and Jenna go look for the skateboard the next day, but it’s so smokey they can’t see anything. They get separated....
