A claustrophobic psychological thriller that blurs trauma, reality, and hallucination as a traumatized woman confronts her fractured mind in a locked apartment.

A woman trying to recover from a sexual attack is locked in a posh apartment with a corpse of the very man she's been dreaming would murder her. She tries to hang on to reality when objects around her seem to come to life.
