Summary

21-year-old Anita is at home alone, when a man she barely knows bursts in, ties her up, and abducts her. The attacker imprisons her in his home, keeping her locked in a metal box for hours on end. Over the next eight days, Anita clings to life, hoping that someone will find her before it's too late.
