Plot
In the dimly lit corners of The Bronx, New York, young college student Mary Ann Robinson grapples with an unspoken secret. Brutally raped while returning home one fateful evening, she remains silent, burying the incident deep within, a haunting shadow that taints her world with unrelenting fear. Tensions amplify in her home, her overbearing mother's incessant questioning and her stepfather's passive concern contributing to her spiralling turmoil. Desperate to escape the echoes of her past, Mary Ann flees to the city's underbelly, seeking anonymity in a shabby rooming house and a dead-end job at a local five-and-dime.
However, the city's harsh indifference proves as overwhelming as her troubled past. The slightest mention of men in a romantic or sexual context triggers her anxiety, misinterpreted by many as mere haughtiness. On the brink of despair, Mary Ann contemplates ending her pain at the edge of the Manhattan Bridge. Before she can leap into the abyss, Mike, a humble garage mechanic, intervenes, pulling her back from the precipice of oblivion.
Mike's modest basement apartment becomes her temporary refuge, his kindness a beacon of hope in her world of darkness. But as the walls close in, Mary Ann's gratitude transforms into terror when Mike refuses to let her leave. Is Mike her saviour, a beacon of love and kindness in her tormented world, or is he another demon disguised, poised to plunge her back into the nightmare she so desperately seeks to escape? The line between rescue and captivity blurs, leaving Mary Ann—and the viewers—questioning who Mike truly is. In the heart of Manhattan, a gripping tale of fear, trust, and survival unfolds, promising to captivate audiences till the very end.
