The 8-minute film, which is entirely shot in one location and in real time, opens with a husband and wife and their child held hostage. The audience is quickly introduced to the perpetrator, a seemingly deranged man with a vengeance. We learn about the death of his wife and child, caused by an accidental motor accident at the hands of his victim. Without spoiling the captivating narrative, the man attempts to share his grief and heartbreak – with a chilling twist.
