"The battle between reality and appearance"
Short Synopsis...

Jane, who is 24 years old, is a very fond reader. The trailer will begin with her visiting her local library. She looks for new editions on a book that she is reading and while taking a book from the shelf, she takes no notice of a man staring directly at her through the gap in the shelf. She drops the book and the same man strangely rushes over to pick it up for her. They both introduce themselves and begin talking about what a fantastic book Jane had picked up.

The two characters gradually get carried away and begin talking about other things. As the conversation becomes more and more personal, Richard asks whether she would like to go out for lunch some time. Jane, optimistic about her fate, says yes and soon they both find themselves going out for lunch in a local café and, over time, begin going to upscale restaurants for dinner.

It seems as if they both fall in love, and seem to be getting along perfectly. After some time and more outgoings, their relationship takes a toll as Richard proposes. Jane hesitates at first but still agrees to marry him, thinking, as always, that her fate has led her to the right path. A week after the couple are married, Richard’s behaviour slowly deteriorates and he begins to act very aggressively towards Jane. Jane soon finds herself trapped in a web of lies and secrets, of which she cannot escape. She regularly rings her friend and complains, and always receives the same replies; that she made the decision in great haste. She is advised to research on Richard’s history if she doubts her trust for him. After days of searching, Jane suddenly comes across a 5-year-old police report, hidden away in Richard’s office. The report states Richard had previously been married three times and all three wives had mysteriously disappeared, with no evidence left behind. At this point, Jane screams with fear as she reads on to find that Richard had escaped bail custody and is currently wanted for trial. She then realises that their marriage had indeliberately permitted Richard to legally live outside the convicted area.

Whilst Jane sits in shock, a man is approaching her house dressed in all black and carrying a huge steak knife. Jane, unaware of this, starts panicking over what she had read on the report. The front door suddenly bursts open and Richard’s voice echoes throughout the home; “I’M HOME!” Jane falls into a game of hide and seek as Richard had planned to kill Jane that very night...
