He saved her. Now he owns her.
Exhausted new mother Lucy is rushing her baby to hospital. Distracted by her sick child, she loses control of the car, and hits Roger, her elderly neighbor.
Terrified of being sent to prison and separated from her infant son, she makes a split-second decision and flees the scene.
Her boyfriend Ian realizes what she has done and helps her cover it up. Lucy is incredibly grateful, until she begins to understand that his kindness comes at a price. Small favors become demands. Demands become threats.
The bargain she has made is clear. If Lucy doesn’t do everything Ian wants, he’ll go to the police and she’ll go to jail, losing access to her child.
Meanwhile, Roger’s wife Mary is circling closer to the truth and the police start asking questions. Lucy’s world has become a suffocating prison with no hope of escape.
Unless… if something were to happen to Ian…
