The lonely life of Christopher (Ncuti Gatwa) is significantly improved when he rescues a puppy. When his neighbour Magnus (Alistair Petrie) threatens to report the dog, Christopher sinks into a depression. His feelings of being trapped turn physical, and he struggles to combat the almost paralysing aloneness and fear, that increases after discovering Magnus’s fate.
