Also known as Amnesiac in some markets, 2014's Unconscious is the story of Man (Wes Bentley), Woman (Kate Bosworth) and Audrey (Olivia Rose Keegan).

When Man wakes up in a hospital bed, he's unsure whether to believe Woman's claims that he's her husband. Once at the family home and left alone, Bentley's character discovers a dead body in the basement who Woman says was her first husband... before swiftly knocking out and drugging Man.

Tied up and delivered shock treatment to, Man is berated by Woman and told he must father her a child in order for this whole experience to end. A postman ends up dead, as does a cop, and Man eventually finds young Audrey locked up in a cage. Woman claims this is the couple's daughter, but that doesn't stop her from planning to drown the child later on.

After Man allows Audrey to escape, he collapses and reawakens back in a hospital bed. There, after being interrogated by the police, Man has the realisation that he and Woman kidnapped Audrey in the hopes of demanding a ransom that they'd use to pay for fertility treatments.

As for the dead bodies discovered at the pair's house, Woman is nowhere to be seen as Man realises his own evil role in all of this.
