Technology supports all aspects of human life from waking us up in the morning through organising our whole day. Getting us places. Providing food, services and comforts. We communicate via applications with the loved ones, establishing and nurturing our connects. With all this power given to electronic devices, can we trust them to fulfil all our needs, and is it right to expect that from them?

Iris (Sophie Thatcher) joins her boyfriend, Josh (Jack Quaid) on a trip to stay at his friends’ house for the first time. Excited and nervous, she tries hard to immerse herself in the experience, desperately longing to please her partner. The couple’s dynamic is strongly skewed towards Josh’s levels of comfort, quickly revealing unhealthy patterns and overall resembling more of a relationship between a master and his servant rather than an equal partnership.

The following day, Iris finds herself in an uncomfortable situation: alone with a creepy owner of the house, fighting frantically for her own survival. She manages to overpower her attracter, but that unfortunately leaves her and the guests with a dead body, sketchy piles of cash, and Iris’s true nature revealed. The unexpected events lead to a life threading chase into the woods as more secrets and questionable human behaviours come to the surface. Will technology win this race?
