The film uses a mix of recognizable New York City exteriors and plot-significant Los Angeles footage to support the psychological thriller about a young woman under suspicion after a murder. As she moves and tries to start a new life, the narrative relies on street realism, busy intersections, and neighborhoods near landmarks to emphasize paranoia, pursuit, and uncertainty about identity and whom to trust.
