Synopsis

The United Kingdom. Soon.
Mounting socio-economic tensions in Britain have culminated in all-out civil war as the State battles rebel militia for power. A young woman who calls herself Ruth wakes up in a blindingly white cuboid room: the White Chamber. A gruff male voice from the outside demands information about the chamber and the laboratory that houses it, but she has none. Ruth claims she is merely an admin girl at the ‘facility’ which created the White Chamber.
To gain the answers he seeks, her captor utilises the gruesome functionality of the cuboid as an instrument of torture. The temperature within the chamber shifts between the extremes; water, acid and even electricity fire out of the structure’s perforated ceiling. Ruth’s mind, body and soul are thus pushed to their very limit. Ruth begins to talk to her captor… but is she just saying anything to survive or does she know more about the forbidding White Chamber than she is letting on?
