When 21-year-old Matthew Silverton wakes up at 3:00a.m in his quiet suburban home, he is drawn to his bedroom window by an unsettling sight-his elderly neighbor, Maria Paterson, emerging from the woods with a flashlight in hand. Against his better judgment, Matthew ventures into the forest to investigate, only to stumble upon a gruesome scene: a ritualistic altar drenched in blood and the lifeless body of Mary Elizabeth, a local waitress. Before he can react, Mrs. Paterson appears from the shadows and stabs him through the heart, stopping his watch at exactly 3:33a.m.
