Melissa has decided to escape her abusive marriage once and for all. However, her carefully laid plans are foiled by an unexpected turn of events which she has no control over - a national lockdown. Trapped in her house with husband Justin, Melissa's hopes of starting afresh shatter as the outside world closes in on her. While the pandemic rages, the claustrophobic existence within her home becomes a twisted dance between deception and danger. Her deadliest threat, she has realised, is the person she feels forced to live with. As Melissa’s life spirals further into despair, Justin’s coercive behaviour and the government-imposed prison she’s found herself in threatens to suffocate her. Curious neighbours and concerned friends try to reach out, but trusting the right person has become a matter of life and death.
