Chloe severs every tie and disappears to reclaim her life.
A Halloween prank spirals into catastrophe when Chloe's brother, boyfriend, and envious best friend shove her into a haunted attraction, recording her mounting hysteria for amusement. The sustained terror triggers cardiac arrest, landing her in surgery while the trio shatters in the waiting area. Against medical odds, Chloe regains consciousness, but the person who entered the house is gone. She immediately blocks all communication, erases her digital footprint, and boards an international flight. Only after she has vanished do their desperate apologies and a public proposal arrive, delivered to an empty life.
