How easy it is to make a mistake by trusting strangers… Outside a coffee shop, a friendly woman approaches Beatrice, who has all but lost hope, and offers her a tempting job. Beatrice agrees, convinced that good luck has finally turned toward her. But the moment she finishes her fragrant coffee, she slips into darkness—and comes to in a stranger’s house deep in the forest, with bars over the windows, and armed guards at the doors. And from the hallway, she’s watched by a pale, childlike face.
The mysterious overseers establish strict rules for the captives and ruthlessly put an end to any attempt at resistance. All her life, Beatrice has tried to be obedient and do things “the right way,” but now the responsibility on her shoulders is not only for herself, but also for the children held hostage. And she can rely on only one thing—her own strength.
