This pitch black comedy is a classic cabin-in-the-woods scenario with a gut punch that will stay with its audience.

​

Claire and Simon have been married for 36 years and it's starting to show. Following a recently-ended affair with a much-younger woman, Simon has vowed to turn over a new leaf. Determined to resurrect her marriage and move on from Simon's infidelity, Claire duly books a romantic Christmas weekend away for them in an idyllic cottage in the woods. 

​

Things should have been firmly back on track. But when Simon's ex-girlfriend arrives at the cottage intent on reclaiming him Claire is faced with the decision of her life - how far will she go to save her marriage?
