At first, Catherine is intrigued by the novel, but quickly discovers that it is not fiction, but rather a reenactment of the day Catherine “became hostage to a dark secret, a secret only one other person knew, and that person is dead,” according to the synopsis.
The only other person who knew this secret (or so she thought) is dead, as she finds herself facing the truth about that terrible, fateful day.
Forced to live through a “nightmare” she experiences, Catherine’s only hope is to confront what happened that fateful day, even if “the truth could destroy her.”
Production began in June 2022 and was filmed in London, Mexico and Sydney before wrapping in February last year.
