Two women take refuge in a remote Scottish country house where a demon awaits them. Stars Claire Knight and Suzanne Donaldson.

Kate and Colleen are on the run from a women's prison in the Scottish Highlands

They're given refuge in a vast country mansion by a charming, but rather enigmatic host, Adam Strachan.

It could be a decision they come to regret...

Marty Ross's supernatural five-part thriller.
