Storyline

In a tense doctor's office, ELLE’s desperate plea for help goes unnoticed as DR. ANGELA GRAY dismisses her distress and GREG, Elle's abusive partner, mocks her struggles. But when Greg’s sinister plan unfolds and Elle’s attempt to flee leads to her being apprehended by Officer Young, the lines between victim and aggressor blur. Can Elle escape this perilous web of deceit before it’s too late?
