The Gift

Simon and Robyn Callum move to a new house in suburban Los Angeles, hoping for a fresh start after a difficult period in their marriage. At a store they run into Gordon "Gordo" Mosley, an awkward man who claims to have gone to school with Simon. Simon is politely dismissive; Robyn is kind. Gordo begins leaving gifts at their house and showing up uninvited. Simon grows hostile; Robyn feels sympathy.

As Gordo's appearances continue, Simon confides that Gordo was a troubled kid in school, dubbed "Gordo the Weirdo," and that they shouldn't encourage him. But Robyn starts noticing inconsistencies in Simon's account and begins investigating. What she finds: Simon spread a false rumor in high school that Gordo had been sexually molested, which led to Gordo's father brutally beating him. The trauma derailed Gordo's life.

Robyn also discovers that Simon had systematically fabricated evidence against a colleague to steal a promotion. He is not the man she thought she married. Their marriage fractures as the truth about his character comes into focus.

Gordo delivers a final package to the house. Inside is a video. Simon watches it and is destroyed. The video suggests that on a night when Robyn was heavily sedated, Gordo may have assaulted her. Robyn has given birth. The film ends with Gordo's message to Simon: "You may think it's over, but some things can't be undone." Whether the baby is Simon's or Gordo's is deliberately unresolved. Simon, who destroyed Gordo's life with a lie, is left to live with the same unbearable uncertainty he once inflicted on someone else.
