Sarah (Michelle Nolden) is trying to get away for an anniversary weekend with her high powered executive lover who gets stuck at the office at the last minute. Stuck in traffic, Sarah falls victim to a "wrong place at the wrong time" scenario and winds up abducted at knife point by a pair of street kids. Jenna (Katharine Isabelle) and Jackson (Kett Turton) are hustlers that seem to be making this up as they go along, and we are never sure who is in charge. The rest of the film concerns Sarah's efforts to stay alive and find a way out for all three of them. Several twists and turns, dirty little secrets, and the unpredictable nature of the situation keep the tension building. Never knowing when things might just explode was enough to keep this viewer mesmerized. Sarah proves more resilient than would first appear and the two younger actors brought just the right measure of insecurity, indecision, and apathy towards Sarah to their parts. You might not scream in terror, but you will certainly feel a knot in the pit of your stomach until the end.

A film that starts out with reasonable promise but goes straight past suspended believability and right into downright absurd.

It was an interesting find, although based on the description, I was expecting for it to have been an actual thriller... as opposed to an indie drama dealing with a plethora of issues like repression and decay of relationships. I actually fell asleep during the last 20 minutes of the movie (I was tired) but I was told the ending was bullshit.

I couldn't quite understand Sarah's actions in the end. In a situation, where I would be stuck in the middle of nowhere with two violent teenagers who just killed a man, I would definately answer my cell phone!

Filmed in and outside Toronto. Good acting. Great premise. Loved it. Very sad in many ways but it rings true. Very sexy, haunting, scarring, beautiful, and releasing.

One of my all time favorites. The storyline outlines the personalities of three very different people and shows their flaws with an incredible understanding.
