Tensions arise when the chilling motives of Jay become apparent, sewing the seeds of distrust between Anderson and the group that had gathered to quietly celebrate the launch.

A medium close up of a mid 30s male and female couple at dinner party with candles and wine glasses Genesis

Director: Robert Dee

Year: 2027

Lily and her husband Charlie, a couple in their early thirties, quietly fall apart inside a rural farmhouse inherited from Charlie’s father. Lily, an agoraphobic artist haunted by a childhood coma that left her temporarily paralysed, secretly performs ritualised asphyxiation to feel control over her body. Charlie, unable to face his hidden sexuality, seeks anonymous encounters with strangers. Their private compulsions hold their marriage together in a fragile, unspoken equilibrium. This balance fractures when Sam and Hannah arrive next door. Sam, a severe, cult-like presence, and Hannah, his unsettlingly youthful companion, first appear as eccentric but intriguing neighbours. Yet their charm soon curdles. They slip into Lily and Charlie’s routines, testing boundaries, dissolving privacy, and infiltrating their emotional space. A psychological game of mimicry deepens into ritualistic horror as Lily and Charlie’s identities begin to erode. Sam and Hannah exploit the psychological fault lines of their victims, using hidden fears and repressed desires as points of entry. As the distinctions between self and other blur, Lily must confront her deepest fear: losing control of her own body. Sam and Hannah are not simply neighbours - they are fallen angels on the run from the wrath of God.
