A dark psychological thriller built on a twisted power dynamic between captor and captive, where moral boundaries dissolve in a sadomasochistic cat-and-mouse game.

A NYPD officer imprisons and tortures an admitted cop-killer, but finds the tables turned when his victim refuses to break and in fact urges more punishment.
