After they leave the city for a romantic getaway in the country, things suddenly take a dark turn. As Sonia's murky past resurfaces, her reality starts to crumble. Everything in her life begins to change-questions arise and answers only arrive through a continuous twist and turn of events keeping viewers on edge until the film's final moments.
