Logline: A woman contending with her broken relationship struggles with succumbing to a mysterious guest during an overnight stay.
Brief Synopsis: Guest takes place over two nights in one house. Jess, mid-late 20s, wants something more fulfilling her life. She's stuck in a relations-less relationship with John, same age, who is comfortable where his life is. To combat this void, Jess registers their house for RoomShare (i.e. Airbnb) as a new venture in hospitality.
A mysterious, unworldly guest, Allie Baren, a 90s grunge charmer, books the room and arrives, leading Jess to question her current relationship, who she really is and her repressed bisexuality. Through various displays of symbolism and character actions, Allie came for a reason — a reason Jess struggles with succumbing to, but ultimately knows deep down how the final night will end.
