Although she’d been navigating this painful relationship like a burden for the majority of her life, when an escaped prisoner, Sam, enters her life, the reality vs the limitations of Rosie’s life is thrown into relief.
Just as Rosie and Adam’s marriage unravels, Sam becomes the godsent saviour she didn’t know she needed. But with his completely checkered past, it’s hard to say how long the halo lasts on Sam’s head, further raising doubts whether true danger lies with the cult or with him.
