The story
Predators, prey and a house with no way out
Step into “The Nest”, an exclusive Bel-Air residence where nothing is as it seems.
Recently separated and struggling to raise her teenage daughter Talon, Ashley Martin takes a job as caretaker of the exotic animal gallery on billionaire Duncan Carlysle’s estate. She soon discovers that his animals are kept in deadly predator-prey pairs, and that someone, possibly her estranged husband Glenn, is watching her every move.
When masked intruders break into the mansion, Ashley and Talon are hunted through a nightmarish chase with no way out. Before they can uncover the sickening truth behind their ordeal, Ashley must fight for her daughter’s survival against the increasingly dangerous Glenn.
“For all of our laws, for all of our refined civilization, we’re still just animals trapped in our cages.”
