Reeve LeClaire is still haunted from when she was held captive as a teenager by a sadistic man, but when her psychiatrist asks her to mentor a newly rescued survivor, she’s pulled into a chilling game of cat-and-mouse—one that threatens to drag her back into the nightmare she barely escaped.
 
Moretz mos recently starred in The Peripheral for Prime, The Miseducation of Cameron Post which was awarded the Sundance Grand Jury Prize and the Oscar Nominated Animated film Nimona for Netflix. She will next be seen in Michael Showalter’s Oh What Fun opposite Michelle Pfeiffer and Felicity Jones for Amazon MGM as well as Joey Powers’ Love Language opposite Anthony Ramos.
