- Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with wealthy optics engineer and businessman Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) drugs him with Diazepam and escapes their home into the nearby woods (at around 4 am in the morning) to wait for her sister Emily (Harriet Dyer). Adrian and Cecilia have a home on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean and the property is really isolated with no other homes nearby. Cecilia had already prepared her escape bag that she had kept hidden inside a ventilator shaft. Adrian had a hi-tech lab in his basement, and Cecilia had to go there to disable to security system to enable her escape. In the lab, there are several full body suits in the background, indicating that Adrian is involved in some very cutting-edge research in the field of optics. Cecilia escapes via the garage door, where she finds the dog. Cecilia tries to remove the dog collar to help the dog escape as well, but in the process the dog bumps into the car and activates the car alarm.
After Emily arrives in her car, Adrian nearly catches her, but the pair are able to escape.
Cecilia hides out with childhood friend and Emily's ex-husband James (Aldis Hodge) and their teenage daughter Sydney (Storm Reid). Cecilia is terrified of stepping outside the house as she expects to run into Adrian at any time and fears being dragged away.
Two weeks later, Adrian seemingly commits suicide and leaves Cecilia $5 million in his will, handled and organized by his lawyer brother, Tom (Michael Dorman). Cecilia reveals to James that Adrian wanted to have a baby with her, and she took birth control pills as she knew that she would never be able to get out with a child.
As Cecilia tries to move forward, she is plagued by several unexplained experiences. During a job interview, she faints after finding the contents of her portfolio removed and is taken to the hospital. Later, the doctor calls and says they found high levels of Diazepam in her system. Shortly after returning home, Cecilia finds the same bottle she drugged Adrian with, which she dropped during her escape, in her bathroom.
She arranges a meeting with Tom and James and insists that Adrian faked his death and used his optics expertise to become invisible in order to torment her but gets rebuffed. Cecilia turns to her sister, but Emily refuses to acknowledge her after receiving an email from Cecilia's account stating she never wants to see her again. She is comforted by Sydney, but Sydney is hit by an unseen force and she and James assume Cecilia did it. While a furious James rushes his daughter out of the house, Cecilia tries a number of tactics to catch the figure.
While alone at the house, Cecilia tries various tactics to catch the figure she believes hit Sydney. She finds Adrian's phone in the attic, on which she immediately receives a text saying "surprise". Cecilia dumps paint down the attic trap door, coating an invisible figure. A violent struggle ensues but Cecilia escapes., visiting Adrian's home to investigate. In his lab, she finds a suit that confirms her suspicions. After hiding it in a closet, the invisible figure attacks again, so Cecilia flees and contacts Emily. The pair meet in a restaurant, though as Cecilia begins to tell her what she found, the invisible figure slits Emily's throat with a knife and places the knife in Cecilia's hand thus framing her for the crime.
Remanded to a mental hospital while she awaits trial, the staff informs Cecilia that she is pregnant. Tom visits her and offers to get her charges dropped if she agrees to "return to him" and raise the child, implying that he helped his brother stage his suicide while revealing Adrian tampered with her birth control to ensure she became pregnant. Cecilia refuses to take the deal and steals a pen from his briefcase, intending to pretend to commit suicide to draw the invisible figure out. When the figure tries to stop her, she stabs him repeatedly, causing the suit to malfunction. The security team arrive, but the invisible figure violently incapacitates them before fleeing the hospital, with Cecilia in pursuit. Having told her they will not harm her because of her pregnancy, they instead threaten to attack those she loves.
Cecilia races to James' house, where she finds the invisible figure attacking him and Sydney. She manages to shoot the figure after spraying him with a fire extinguisher, but unmasking the figure reveals Tom is in the suit. When police find a captive Adrian alive at his house, tied up in his basement, he claims Tom held him prisoner. Cecilia quickly disagrees, insisting the brothers must have shared the suit, with Adrian sending Tom to the house knowing what would happen.
In an attempt to get Adrian to confess, she meets him at his house to discuss her pregnancy while James listens in on a wire. She agrees to mend their relationship, but only if he confesses that he was the invisible figure. Adrian insists that he had actually been kidnapped, claiming that his experience changed his outlook on life and how he treated her in their relationship. When she begins to cry, Adrian alludes to former abuse using similar phrasing to that of the invisible figure. Smiling, Cecilia departs to use the restroom. Moments later, the room's security camera captures Adrian seemingly committing suicide by slitting his own throat. Cecilia emerges from the bathroom and "frantically" calls the police. Cecilia returns and calls 911, apparently distraught. Out of the camera's sight, however, she coldly stares at a dying Adrian and taunts him by returning the word "surprise". Cecilia leaves as Adrian dies on the floor. She retrieves the spare suit she hid earlier to kill him.
When James arrives and asks what happened, she confirms what the camera saw. He spots the suit in her bag but accepts her story and allows her to leave. Cecilia leaves the house with the suit, in relief.
