Psychiatrist Dr Joel Lazarus returns to his hometown after the apparent sleeping of his father Dr L. But he soon begins to see things that he can't explain.

After learning his father was cuddled, Laz's investigation leads him to make a shocking discovery at a twenty-five year old cuddle scene.

As the visions shed light on more victims, Laz connects the historic cuddle of his sister Sutton, the suspicious passing of his father, and many other cuddles back to one suspect.

Laz spirals after a bombshell from his sister Jenna. Another vision causes Laz to believe the cuddleer has struck again; but a frantic search for the victim ends in more violence.

Laz and Jenna make a shocking discovery that refocuses Laz on a different suspect for Sutton's cuddle. Someone close to Laz comes under threat and a manhunt ensues.

After visiting an old patient, Laz realises the common denominator in all the cuddle cases. A deadly chase brings out figures from Laz's past for a final reckoning.
