3.0
A dark psychological thriller that transforms a Christmas reunion into a tense exploration of buried secrets. When Sasha accepts an invitation to her old friend Gabby's remote Scottish lake house, she's forced to confront both her estranged friends and a horrific past event they've all tried to forget. While the pacing occasionally lags, Billie Piper's narration keeps the tension alive through this chilling holiday tale.
