The Night is a psychological thriller that follows an Iranian couple, Babak and Neda, and their one-year-old daughter, Shabnam. Returning home from a friend’s gathering, Babak drives drunkenly, too stubborn to let Neda drive with a suspended license. When Babak’s driving threatens the safety of the family, Neda insists they stay the night at a hotel. Once they check-in, Babak and Neda find themselves imprisoned, forced to face the secrets they’ve kept from each other. And though the clock moves forward, “the night” never ends.

Heather, a struggling artist living in a quiet neighborhood, meets her new neighbor: the good-looking photographer Tyler. While at first intrigued, Heather begins to question if Tyler may be involved in reports of a local serial killer.
