Alyssa, mute since a past car crash and three years into marriage with Caleb Wood, hears a rumor that Caleb is using her to bear a child and will leave her for infertile Ms. Mandy Shaw. She confronts Caleb at his office; he shuts her out and tells her not to return. Later Alyssa is in a car accident. Caleb rushes to the hospital and learns Alyssa and the baby are dead and already cremated. He storms the hospital demanding to see them, is restrained, hears "You still have me," and the cremation's cause remains unresolved.
