A dark psychological thriller about sexual repression and obsession that unravels a closeted man's carefully constructed life through desire and violence.

François van Heerden, a mid-40s Afrikaans family man, has become devoid of any care or concern for his own measure of happiness, and so convinced of his ill-fated existence, that he is wholly unprepared when a chance encounter unravels his clean, controlled life.
