Melanie (Rachael Blake), an attractive single girl, is out on the town with her girlfriends when she meets a good-looking and intriguing man (Sam Neill) who takes an immediate interest in her. She agrees to leave with him and accompanies him to his boat, which takes off for the remote island on which he lives. Slowly realizing she has been kidnapped, Melanie struggles to maintain her composure as she interacts with her captor -- to whom she still feels a strange, reluctant attraction.
