Short
Pippa is a physically and emotionally mutilated former model living as a recluse. She’s taken hostage in her own home by a charismatic thief looking for a temporary hideout.

Half-Page
Pippa, a striking young woman whose body has been horrifically disfigured, hides in shame in her beautiful flat. Struggling with her new physical identity, she has become a neurotic, obsessive compulsive. Her few connections to the outside world are through books, magazines and a community of online friends.
Her lonely life is thrown upside down when a feisty young con artist and thief, Kayleigh, breaks into her flat. Pippa is taken hostage in her own home while Kayleigh reveals she is willing to go to any length to get what she wants. An intelligent, charismatic girl, Kayleigh plays multiple personalities in an attempt to control the circle of crooks around her. However, it’s not long before she turns to more brutal tactics to ensure her own safety.
Yet, as this stranger ingratiates herself into Pippa’s quiet life - her former modelling career and manipulative family - the two women begin to share a mutual respect and compassion for one another. As the world closes in around them the hardened sociopathic criminal teaches the good-hearted Pippa how to stand for herself.
Set entirely within this one flat over one night, “Confine” creates an overwhelming sensation of claustrophobia as the tension grows stronger. A sharp, heart-racing thriller laced with sensitivity, it is the story of a broken woman taken hostage only to find the strength to face the world again.
