Folie à deux, a rare psychiatric syndrome where delusional beliefs are shared between two closely associated individuals.

Set within the confines of a rundown Oklahoma motel room, BUG follows Agnes, a lonely waitress seeking refuge after a troubled past, and Peter, a Gulf War veteran whose growing paranoia entwines with hers. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.
