Tom (Ben Whishaw), a teenager who is the frequent target of bullies, retreats into the woods to escape the pain of the outside world. There he meets another teen, Jessica (Jenna Harrison), who is in an awful emotional state after being raped by her neighbor, Jack (Adrian Rawlins), who works locally as a schoolteacher. Together, she and Tom build a fantasy world that serves as their refuge — but when one of them starts trying to break away, it’s clear that their bond is difficult to break.
