The 16-minute drama opens with an affable Roger asking Natalie out for a drink. In spite of initial hesitancy, Natalie lets her guard down and accepts his offer – albeit one drink only. Several drinks later, and with romantic connotations in the air, Roger takes Natalie to a secluded airfield where the line between intimacy and assault becomes blurred. Silence, denial, guilt and shame overwhelm the protagonist – which leads to further exploitation later that night. The next day, Natalie comes face to face with the reality of her ordeal, during a weighty conversation with her best friend/flatmate.
