THE SHUTTERED ROOM

Little do they know their captive has a little secret.

Jessica Fraser would appear to have everything: money, a devoted husband, a lively son and a fulfilling career. But her life takes a nasty turn when she is taken hostage and incarcerated in an upstairs room by three thugs demanding a huge ransom from her rich father. In a bid to escape, she cuts a hole in the bedroom floor with a cutlery knife. From there, Jess observes the three of them going about their everyday business. That’s when she starts playing games with them. That’s when her spying pulls her into a treacherous psychological game with her abductors.

If only they knew what their hostage was up to. What would they do to her?

FALLING AWAKE
