Synopsis/ Storyline:
Jenny, a food delivery driver, stumbles upon a disturbing domestic situation while making a routine drop-off. What starts as a witness to a violent altercation quickly escalates into a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the abusive husband, who happens to be a corrupt police officer. With a daring rescue attempt and a call to the police, Jenny believes she has saved Sandra. But as the sirens wail and the officers close in, a chilling realization dawns on her: has she truly liberated Sandra from her abuser, or has she merely traded one prison for another?
