Description
Holly shares an apartment with Lisa and her boyfriend, Rod. When Lisa disappears without a trace, Holly looks for respite from the ordeal by taking a live-in caretaker’s position in a seaside hotel whilst it undergoes renovation. The building is empty and Holly is completely alone except for the workmen and one other – a mysterious resident with apparent sinister undertones. What happens when the weight of circumstances and events leave feelings of vulnerability and uncertainty? Can we trust our senses, our reasoning, or does fear feed our imagination?
