A grieving young woman embarks on a vendetta to prove her home security monitor responsible for her mother's untimely death, but has to do so under his surveillance. 

SYNOPSIS:

Rosemary Cassidy is a self-absorbed paranoid hiding from the

world in her Southern Gothic mansion, convinced her new

diabetes medications are a conspiracy to poison her.

Dutiful adult daughter Monica is on her last nerve with Mom’s

delusions and imagined incursions into the house wired and

shuttered for security above all else.

When Mom dies while Monica is off on a weekend getaway,

Monica’s overcome with guilt and self-recrimination. A chance

remark from one of their security agents co-workers sets

Monica on a mission to find proof.

Neurotic paranoid that she was, Mom kept copies of all calls

on her computer and a reel to reel recorder.

The overly intrusive agent, Dennis, can and does edit his

computer record. When he sees Monica with the

reels getting ready to leave, he panics and locks her in.

Monica doesn’t know Dennis has hacked the company’s servers

and runs a satellite operation from his apartment and her

escape options dwindle to zero. So she does the next best

thing. She goads Dennis into breaking in.

When he does, she instigates a chase that ends with her

locking them both in a cold war era bomb shelter.

Over the course of several hours that seem like days, these

master manipulators roller coaster through all the stages of

grief as they get under each other’s skin.

Exhausted, Monica’s ready to absolve Dennis of blame when the

cops finally force the door open. But as the lead rescuer

enters she bluntly lays out his guilt.

Shocked, Dennis grabs her and the move is mistaken for a

threat. As the cop pulls Monica away, she has a second’s

glance at the raised gun, vindictiveness evaporating too late

to save Dennis from being shot.

So who won?

Nobody wins when the sixth stage of grief is retribution.
