关于此电影

The norms and values of an Indian father as a migrant to Australia are in conflict with his teenage daughter, Zoya. She wants freedom whereas her traditional single-parent father wants her to marry and settle down. Her social media friend encourages her a way out. Zoya runs away from one hell and lands in another. Bound to a bed, gagged and stripped in a dungeon, Zoya is physically abused by Conan McFarlane. But she has a saviour in Liam McFarlane, the God-fearing brother who wants to be loved. Days and night blur into one another, and visits from rough-and-tough Conan alternate with those of gentleman Liam. When she asks for help, Liam tells her that he contacted her father who refused to take her back. Thus, she has no hope... except for loving Liam. An altercation takes place between the brothers that reveals a twist to the audience, not Zoya. When Liam next enters the dungeon, it's with a bandaged head. Zoya is enamoured by her 'knight in shining armour' and makes love to him. After the heady session, Liam accidentally leaves behind his mobile. An unbound Zoya calls her father who is too heartbroken and ashamed to help. Liam rushes back to the dungeon to find a shattered Zoya. He feels sorry for her and takes a risk to 'release' her from the dark dungeon to the basement bedroom. Zoya's conviction of Liam leads her to lie to the cops when they knock on their door about another missing girl. To ensure their continued love story and knowing that Zoya lives in constant fear of Conan, Liam convinces his father, Noel, to banish Conan. A grateful Zoya goes to thank Noel. This time Zoya learns the shocking truth about Liam. At first, she cries and then tries to escape, in vain. Finally, she resolves on a more drastic action; actions that would create a hell for Liam akin to a story she was told by Conan – a frog is put into a tub of water and the temperature is turned up slowly to boiling. The frog plays along without realising its end is near.
