Architect Nicholas Dunn (Cal Remington) is a man who has the perfect life. Happily married to Amy Dunne (Carolina Papen) with a career reaching new heights, he's seen to have everything he could wish for. With his anniversary soon approaching, Nicholas is seen on the construction site of a surprise project: a gift to Amy in the form of their dream home for their third year of marriage. During the visit, a seemingly innocuous detail gone awry by the contractor unexpectedly sets the architect off, causing a hammer to go swinging, nearly striking the contractor in the fury. As the dust settles, this side of Nicholas startles everyone, including the man responsible, who blames it on his perfectionist tendencies and the stress of giving his wife what she deserves. Though tensions remain high, it's enough to let Nicholas leave to go back home, where he hopes to finally reveal the plans to Amy.

During his drive, Nicholas reaches an intersection that comes close to an accident that would have caused his own fatality. While the sound of his horn blares, the camera pans out to a cross on the shoulder of the road, a collision of the past's sign and future's omen.

Fully expecting to come home and leave his troubles at the door, the architect is met with a blackened out house. The light is flicked on to see the inside of their home trashed with Amy nowhere to be found. The nightmare of reality is about to begin, fueled by malicious speculation, relentless press, and an unfolding of memories that give context to the loaded question: have you seen Amy Dunne?
