A harrowing psychological thriller about a kidnapped teenager's desperate fight for survival against a sadistic couple, built on sustained dread and the claustrophobic dynamics of captivity.

When Vicki Maloney is randomly abducted from a suburban street by a disturbed couple, she soon observes the dynamic between her captors and quickly realises she must drive a wedge between them if she is to survive.
