[edit] Synopsis
A wealthy married couple travelling to an island vacation home off the coast of Maine stop to help an injured young man lying by the side of the road. A series of coincidences lands the stranger together with the couple in their isolated retreat for the entire weekend. A forbidden sexual attraction leads to a deceptive love triangle laced with fear and betrayal. Nothing is quite what it seems in this dark sexual thriller.
As David (Alan Rickman: Dogma, Die Hard, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) and Alexis Weinberg (Polly Walker: Detox, Silver) race through a torrential rainstorm to get the last ferry to their private island, they catch sight of an injured young man (Norman Reedus: 8MM, Mimic) at the side of the road. The mysterious stranger reluctantly accepts their help and by morning the incident is virtually forgotten, until a series of coincidences leads him back into their lives and into their home. As events slowly unfold at the isolated retreat, what began as an act of kindness slowly gives way to a bizarre love triangle that ultimately forces the couple into a frightening spiral of sex and betrayal, where nothing is what it seems.
