When unfulfilled 35-year-old Alex turns down a proposal from her long-term boyfriend during a camping trip, he abandons her in the woods. Alone and injured, Alex is rescued by Kianna and her partner Matt. As Alex warms up to the couple at their off-the-grid campsite, her curiosity unfurls into a sexual awakening. But when she starts to suspect her rescuers are responsible for a series of high-profile bank robberies, she finds herself dangerously entangled in their shifting power dynamics.
