Sam Neill picks up this woman from a bar and takes her to his boat, where he lives. She passes out from drinking too much and wakes up to find herself out on the ocean and on the way to his private island. She's understandably leery about the situation but tries to go along with it.He shows her his hideaway and even makes a nice dinner for her. He also goes so far to say that he's in love with her, even though they had just met. But after he strikes her she's wanting to go home. She manages to lock him out of the house when he steps out but he starts an outside fire and smokes her out-and she ends up stabbing him with a kitchen knife. She frantically runs out to the beach where the boat is but the tide is out and the boat is beached. There's no way she can leave.She goes back and, feeling guilty, tries to nurse him back to health, but the wound is too bad and he dies.She ends up putting his body in the large meat freezer.At this point she starts seeing his ghost-and they have many conversations. Her affection for him grows and she falls in love with him in the following weeks.Then, the island's true owner, a local fisherman, comes to the house and sees that she's crazy. He's also had a thing for her so he puts up with her trying to shoot him. She tells him that she's pregnant, yet she never had sex with the Sam Neill character when he was alive. Was she already pregnant from a previous man, is she impregnanted by a ghost or is she just telling this to the fisherman to get his sympathy so he won't call the authorities on her?You're not sure if the woman has lost her mind or if she's indeed seeing and communicating with the man's ghost. A weird, unsettling movie.
