Held prisoner by a psychotic truck driver who has stopped taking his meds, a suicidal swindler uses her formidable skills as a grifter to turn the tables on her unstable captor in this satirical black comedy from first time feature filmmaker Kieran Galvin. Down on her luck con artist Liz (Nadia Townsend) was about to end it all when lonely truck driver Aiden (Bernard Curry) swept in and saved her from certain death. But Liz's nightmare is just beginning, because Aiden is convinced that she's the ex-wife who walked out on him years ago, and now he's eager to settle the score by holding her prisoner in his remote farmhouse. Now surrounded by vicious attack dogs and cut completely off from civilization, Liz must remember what it was that made her such a successful con-artist in the first place, and draw on those skills in order to gain the upper hand.
