Plot

In the tranquil English countryside, Freddie Clegg, an introverted bank clerk and zealous butterfly collector, stumbles upon an isolated house for sale—his destined lair for a plan far darker than his innocent hobby. Freddie's obsession spirals beyond his treasured butterflies as he sets his sights on Miranda Grey, a vibrant art student based in London. His love for her, much like his butterflies, is from afar, a strange concoction of respect and infatuation, untainted by mere physical desire. Seizing an opportunity, he executes his sinister plan, abducting Miranda and holding her captive in the eerie basement of his newly acquired property. To Miranda's horror, Freddie desires neither a ransom nor to cause her physical harm, leaving her bewildered and desperate to comprehend his intentions. Amidst the chilling solitude of her confinement, Miranda finds herself in a dangerous tango of wits with Freddie, a man as icy as he is unpredictable. As they negotiate the conditions of her captivity, Miranda plots her survival and escape, ensnared in a perilous game where the rules are dictated by her captor. The Collector dives into the depths of obsession, a chilling exploration of a love that traps and a captor who cherishes, a tale as captivating as it is unnerving.
