Cherry Tree Lane

No warning. No mercy. No escape.

A claustrophobic home-invasion thriller that traps a fractured couple with threatening intruders, mining tension from confinement and class conflict rather than spectacle.

Prosperous professional couple Mike and Christine are settling in for a standard evening of wine, TV and low-level marital hostility when a ring on their doorbell changes everything. Turns out their son Sebastian is in a little trouble with some local boys, who are quite prepared to camp out and wait for him to get home ... the resulting culture-clash chamber drama is raw, revealing and nerve-splittingly tense.
