- Synopsis
- Annie’s 50. She been driving an Uber for 6 months. It gives her enough money on top of her other job to just about keep up with the financial demands of her daughter, a pregnant 30 year old who likes too many nice things in life.
  
  Today she gets a job that could make her more money than she’d earn in a week. But the man who gets in is not the person who booked it. Callum, a 39 year old prison escapee, holds her hostage and forces her to drive 300 miles north, through the very remote Highlands.
  
  The terrified Annie does as he says. She’s not going to let this go down without a fight, but she has to choose her moment. Hope fades as she becomes more isolated the further they get into the wilderness. Even her phone signal comes and goes
  
  During the next 8 hours, two very different people find that they are not so different at all. Through conflict between them in that confined space, they find commonality.
  
  But no matter how friendly they get, they both have to remember that they are Captor and Captive.
