Thread Tension

Synopsis

A UK sweatshop, 1987. Management is desperate to dispel the mysterious phenomenon spreading amongst the seamstresses: full-body possessions. Instead, the oppressive environment puts three women on a collision course with the draconian factory foreman and causes one sceptical worker to realise what she's witnessing isn't mass hysteria—it's a strike.

Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science.
