En una cabaña aislada, desnuda y esposada a la cabecera de la cama, Jessie asiste inerte al macabro desenlace del juego erótico de Gerald, el hombre con quien ha convivido durante veinte años y que ahora está tendido en el suelo junto al lecho, muerto.
Sola, sin poder liberarse, acuciada por el hambre y la sed y asediada por los fantasmas del pasado, Jessie se enfrenta al desafío de sobrevivir a la situación, mientras va adquiriendo conciencia de que la realidad es aún más pavorosa que la peor de sus pesadillas.

Work Description

Gerald and Jessie Burlingame have gone to their summer home on a warm weekday in October for a romantic interlude. After being handcuffed to her bedposts, Jessie tires of her husband's games, but when Gerald refuses to stop she lashes out at him with deadly consequences. Still handcuffed, she is trapped and alone. Painful memories from her childhood bedevil her. Her only company is a hungry stray dog and the sundry voices that populate her mind. As night comes, she is unsure whether it is her imagination or if she has another companion: someone watching her from the corner of her dark bedroom.

Excerpts

Jessie could hear the back door banging lightly, randomly, in the October breeze blowing around the house.
