22 minutes of pure claustrophobic dread — and the real monster isn't who you think.
A woman opens her eyes: she finds herself in a kind of torture chamber. Footsteps approach, but at the last moment she finds a way to escape. On her way out of her prison, she descends deeper and deeper into her personal hell.
