Les poignets enchaînés aux montants du lit par des menottes, Jessie vit un cauchemar. Gisant sur le plancher, les yeux révulsés, Gerald, son mari, est mort, victime de sa libido et du coup de pied qu'elle lui a donné dans un moment de dégoût. Comble de l'horreur, un chien errant s'est introduit dans la chambre, un clebs affamé prêt à planter ses crocs dans la joue de Gerald !
Si personne ne vient la libérer — et qui viendrait ? sa villa du lac Kashwakamac est totalement isolée — , Jessie ne tardera pas à mourir à son tour. Torturée par la soif, les mascles tétanisés. Avec, en prime, ces voix OVNI dans la tête, qui lui jettent son passé à la figure.
De la douleur à la folie il n'y a qu'un pas. Et lorsqu'elle voit dans l'ombre ce visiteur du soir à la mallette en peau humaine, elle sent le monde basculer...

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.
