Callum (Jon Devlin), phone operator for a suicide hotline, has not only lost a caller (Dorothy Hadley Joly) to suicide, she has taken her husband (Robb Smith) with her. To make somehow good on that, he takes special care of hbis next caller, Velvet (Gea Rose Henry) to make sire sje's alright, and even though that's strictly against company rules, Velvet is somehow flattered by this.

Flash forward a couple or so months: Velvet has since been kidnpped, but has managed to escape, and she's now the subject of a documentary where she tells filmmaker Isaac (J.D. Starnes) about her ordeal, how her kidnapper (Christopher Breazeale) tried to make her commit suicide every day, and how she somehow almost succeeeded at one time taking pills, and how her escape came very suddenly and un-climacticly. At first of course Velvet is really reserved when talking about all of this, but she gradually opens up to Isaac, to the point where they become a couple. That said, the longer the interview goes on, the more Isaac is convinced things don't quite add up, and yet he can't put the finger on what's wrong ...

Now here's a piece of psycho horror that really has one guessing throughout as it builds up its story carefully and hands out its clues seemingly at random, to in a final plottwist put everything on its head. And thanks to a slick direction that makes good use of the modest budget this really works, too. But that said, this is really Gea Rose Henry's film, as she gives a perfectly nuanced performance and grounds the film - and she's surrounded by a solid ensemble, too. So in all, rather awesome and pretty unusual genre entertanment.
