When mild-mannered architect Willum Cubbert is visited by the man who once saved his life, things quickly spiral into chaos.

But one guest is suspicious of the smug hosts serving drinks on a trunk they refuse to open. As thunder grows outside, the horror and tension build in this mystery thriller. The inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1948 film of the same name, Rope, promises an evening of suspense and chills.
