Lindsay and Spencer are a typical young couple, but their lives are changed forever after a violent home invasion. Now Lindsay finds herself a prisoner in her own home as her husband tortures the men responsible.

“If you accept its a torture thriller drama from the get go and are fully on board with it it does what it intends to. The moral dilemma was well stated and the writing of the characters was a strength particularly with Katherine Isabelle channeling her best post-ginger fitzgerald character well here. I felt for her character because she understood the character she was playing well and was able to portray the emotions and nuances. This couldu0026#39;ve been a run of the mill stupid torture fest but itu0026#39;s actually a cut above. It was handled as a dark drama and thriller about what is often a horror. And the actors and writers were able to pull off what they set out to achieve. Some of it is of course in poor taste in theme. But the story right from the opening credits made no mistake in promising that it would be sad/dark. Despite that It leaves a somewhat good resolution or message in the ability of survival, and good over evil. and Katharine Isabelle.”
