While on a cross-country drive to get to her sister’s wedding, Alex’s car breaks down. She stumbles upon a quaint inn, where she’s smitten by the innkeeper, Marcus. He offers her a room, but she soon finds that the mattress is way too hard on her back, bruising and even cutting deep into her. When Alex tries to leave the inn, she learns that Marcus has other plans to keep her with him forever. Alex must fight her way free, if she’s ever going to make it to her sister’s wedding.
