The judge's past sentencing decisions have come back to haunt him, turning what was supposed to be a romantic escapade into a nightmarish hostage situation. While confined, Peter and Anna must navigate through psychological games and physical threats to survive the night.
As tension escalates, the captors' true intentions begin to surface, unraveling a web of deceit and hidden motives. Peter’s skills as a lawyer are put to the test in this fight for freedom, demanding he uses intellect and strategy against their unpredictable captors. Meanwhile, Anna’s enigmatic nature raises questions about her involvement and intentions. With each passing minute, the stakes skyrocket, and the manor becomes a battleground where trust is scarce and survival is imperative.
