Wife and mother, Angela (Downton Abbey’s Joanne Froggatt) is trapped in an abusive marriage she can’t escape. Things get dramatically dangerous when her husband hires a stranger to track her every move.
Angela’s husband Olivier is charming and handsome. She does what she can to appear happy and hide the fact that he is manipulative and abusive. When she discovers she’s being followed by someone, things take a dark turn.
Angela grapples with the information the stranger shared with her about her husband. Now that she knows the truth, keeping up the facade with Olivier and her kids is more of a struggle than ever before.
In a therapy session, Angela has a revelation. She begins to question her entire marriage, and realizes how long ago Olivier’s abuses began. Despite trying to settle into a new routine, she can’t shake some of the things Ed told her.
Therapy is making Angela realize she can’t go back to who she was as Olivier’s wife. She needs to rediscover her old self, and do everything it takes to get her children back.
