A tense home-invasion thriller that pivots into a dark romance between captor and captive, built on paranoia and the dangerous blurring of power dynamics.

Aspiring actress Alex Weaver eagerly accepts an offer to look after a luxury house in the hills while the wealthy owners depart for a weekend's sailing. The perfect place to relax and unwind, even the news that a murder has just occurred next door doesn't disturb her.
