After Ariel's best friend is reported missing, the NYPD sends detective Eden to the community to help and find out why he is missing and where he is. When they first meet, their worlds collide. To Ariel, I think he is very intrigued in the way she acts, because he has never met anyone like her within his community. His Hassidic upbringing does not allow him to be alone with a woman. So when he is alone talking to her he feels uncomfortable, which wares off during the course of the film. He is confused on the types of questions that she asks about his friend, like that he is a thief.

He feels this because, he is in denial that it could have been anyone coming from within the Hassidic community where he lived. Why would someone, like the person he would marry, turn out to be in on her own fiancee's death?
