You can watch "Before" worldwide with a subscription to Apple TV Plus. Traveling abroad? You can watch "Before" on Apple TV Plus from anywhere with a VPN.

Apart from a host of issues requiring Eli's attention, he also has some mysterious link to the psychiatrist's past. We should expect to be unnerved but, as a character on the frankly disturbing scale, Noah sits somewhere between the twins in "The Shining" and Linda Blair in "The Exorcist". It's no wonder Eli (and everybody else for that matter) is spooked.
The two forge a strong and unlikely bond on the journey to discovering what links the two together - there's definitely a remote farmhouse involved somewhere - but will Eli like what he finds when he gets there?
