Bad Things

Ruthie has recently inherited her grandmother's abandoned hotel, and has returned to stay in it for a few days with her girlfriend Cal and their friend, Maddie, and tagalong Fran. Despite feeling uncomfortable there, Ruthie is hoping to fix her and Cal's troubled relationship, and reluctantly entertains the idea of running the hotel at Cal's insistence. She watches several hotel management videos on her phone, including those featuring a woman, Ms. Auerbach. The groundskeeper, Brian, arrives, expressing his disappointment that Ruthie's estranged mother, who had been staying at the hotel, has ended things between them before leaving town. Ruthie informs Cal that her mother arranged a meeting for her with a buyer, which upsets Cal.
