Plot

Mark Richards is a high school graduate who is getting ready to go to college while he's being smothered by his mother Tanya, whose husband, Mark's father, died years ago, which led her to being overprotective. One day, Mark goes to a hardware store where he meets an attractive woman Carissa Kensington who convinces him to come and fix the shower at her house. Carissa takes off her robe in front of him, persuading Mark to get in the shower with her and they have sex. Then they go on a date and when Carissa leaves for a moment, a waiter warns Mark to stay away from Carissa.

Mark continues spending time with Carissa in secret. Tanya soon finds out about Carissa and invites Carissa to her home. While having dinner with Mark and Tanya's work friend Randy, Carissa says that Mark is a grownup man who can make his own decisions but Tanya disbelieves her and says that Mark is a boy who worked hard for college and angrily forbids Carissa from using Mark for her own pleasure. Carissa leaves and as Mark tries to apologize, she tells him to make the choice he wants and he decides to spend the night with her, where Mark has an intense moment while they have sex in the pool. After learning that Carissa's ex-husband was found dead at her house, Tanya visits Carissa to make amends but Carissa rejects her and threatens to convince Mark to do whatever she wants, including cutting Tanya out his life. Carissa suggests to Mark that he should move in but he's reluctant and goes home.

Tanya believes that Mark is under a spell and Carissa is like a Siren. Randy tells her that she should let Mark make his mistakes so he can learn and grow up. When he mentions about Melanie, a girl from Mark's birthday party, Tanya plans to get Mark together with Melanie. They go on a date together where Carissa is watching them and when Melanie gets in her car, Carissa surprises her with a knife, telling her to never see Mark again, leaving Melanie traumatized as she avoids talking to Mark. Tanya tells Randy about the date, but Randy tells her that he's grown tired of Tanya controlling everything in life and pushing away everyone she cares about and refuses to help Tanya no more. Later on, Carissa approaches Randy and tries to manipulate him but he realizes that she really is a Siren and makes her leave.

Mark's friend Walter visits Carissa to make amends until Carissa holds a knife in her hand, leaving his fate unknown. Mark goes back to Carissa's house when she tells him that a friend from a software company is visiting. Mark presents his self-made phone app but is told that he's too late to sell the app. When Mark refuses to celebrate and says that he needs to experience things for himself, Carissa knocks him out and handcuffs him in her sauna. Carissa blames Mark, believing that he was only using her for himself and reveals that her ex-husband cheated on her with another woman and he was old and not sexually good with her, presuming that she killed him because of it. She thinks that women are not to be used or abandoned, which led to her obsession with Mark. She keeps him in the sauna for a whole day, torturing him with dehydration. Carissa texts with Mark's phone to lure Tanya to the house and takes her as prisoner into the sauna too. She holds them at gunpoint and blames Tanya for ruining their relationship. She leaves the gun in the sauna and locks them both in, giving Tanya a choice: she dies or Mark dies.

Later at night, while waiting to shoot Carissa, Tanya tells Mark that when his father died, she was scared that Mark would die too and she was becoming so selfish that she was only protecting herself. She tearfully apologizes and when she's about to commit suicide, Carissa comes and says that she won't open the door until she hears a gunshot. Tanya fakes the gunshot to make Carissa enter the sauna and the two women fight. Tanya wins and she tries to revive Mark. Carissa runs out of the sauna with an iron rod until Randy shows up and throws a trident at Carissa's side, killing her. Randy also finds Walter tied up in a towel box, showing that he was kidnapped. With everyone saved, police sirens are heard in the distance, showing that help is on the way.

A month later, Mark and Walter pack for college. Mark and Melanie are back together and Tanya and Randy have gotten together and started a relationship as Tanya finally gets to let Mark move on. He hugs his mother goodbye and tells Randy to take care of her as he and Melanie leave on their trip across the country.
