Following Trevor’s unreliable perspective
The mystery depends on the gap between what Trevor experiences and what other people acknowledge. Ivan is especially important to that uncertainty, while Stevie and Marie belong to different parts of Trevor’s life. A first viewing benefits from knowing the setup without learning the resolution. This guide therefore identifies the principal roles without explaining the final revelation.
