Synopsis:

LUCY and RORY return from their first night away from their young son, JOSHUA, to celebrate their anniversary. RORY鈥檚 mother, MORVEN, who has been babysitting casually reveals that she let a stranger take the newly potty trained JOSHUA to the toilet while she waited in a busy cafeteria queue. For MORVEN it鈥檚 an afterthought but for LUCY and RORY this revelation is a bomb shell - what might this stranger have done to their son? When JOSHUA bites another kid at soft-play the following day their concern intensifies. But their journey to discover whether JOSHUA has been harmed, ultimately involving the police, begins to cause fractures in the triangle of relationships between LUCY, RORY and MORVEN, leaving LUCY increasingly isolated in her anxiety. All strangers seem threatening now and LUCY begins to believe only she can keep JOSHUA safe.
