Synopsis:
April has always felt invisible and controlled. After a night out, she wakes inside a coffin, the ultimate expression of a life she never chose. Driven by terror and instinct, she claws her way free, only to find herself trapped inside a sealed, eerily familiar house with Corbin, a man she barely knows.
What begins as a brutal fight for survival soon becomes something stranger and more disturbing. As fear turns to violence, April is forced to question who is really behind the trap and what they want from her.
To survive the night, April must uncover the truth of her imprisonment and confront the buried trauma that has shaped her life, before the house becomes her grave.
