She was the hysterical rabbit fleeing from the dogs.
He was the wolf, ready to kill.
Chased out of her home, Nora Knightley must adapt to the vicious world of violence, threats, and murder. Unexperienced, vulnerable and confused, makes her the lowest on the food chain. It's just a matter of time before she's thrown into the slaughterhouse.
A backpack is her only luggage, containing the heavy burden of paranoia and the limited resource of her brother's advice: keep your head down.
Without a doubt, Nora tries to blend in and become invisible, but when there's a psychotic man living above her, it's impossible.
Arrogant Enrico Bellizzi does and gets what he wants.
He plays with the boiling water of riddles and manipulation, scolding those who care in the process. Anger and paranoia are always bubbling to the surface, while his mere presence burns those who fear him.
Nora can't escape him.
Enrico can't let her out of his sight.

"You left me for dead."
"I didn't know what I was walking away from. I don't want to lose either of you but I think I'm on the verge of losing you both. I've never had anything to lose before." He looks so broken. So crushed under the weight of his confession.
