In 2018, Sandra Bullock starred in the Netflix thriller Bird Box, which took the world by storm. The film soon became the platform's most-watched film and it would remain that way until Red Notice premiered on the streaming service. In addition to Bullock, the film starred Trevante Rhodes, Jacki Weaver, BD Wong, Lil Rel Howery, Danielle Macdonald, John Malkovich, and several others.

The Unforgivable put Bullock in another grim story where she is haunted by memories that are slowly revealed over the course of the film. Even though both films were deemed relatively underwhelming by critics, Bullock and several other cast members' performances in The Unforgivable make it the better film.

Katie has no recollection of Ruth and instead, is haunted by traumatic glimpses of her childhood. Ruth slowly works to acclimate herself back into society with the help of her parole officer Vincent Cross (Rob Morgan). As expected, Ruth runs into a number of setbacks from those who dislike and distrust her because of her convicted crimes.

Ruth does gain a few allies, most notably in corporate lawyer John Ingram (Vincent D'Onofrio), who is willing to help Ruth try to contact
