Sold on the prospect of an ideal suburban lifestyle at the newly opened YONDER, they drive out with enigmatic estate agent Martin (Jonathan Aris) to take a look, and the trap is sprung. In YONDER, the food they're given has no taste, identical homes line identical streets tesselating toward the horizon underneath a sky dotted by uniform clouds, and every road leads right back to the new home that has become their prison. The idyllic dream of 'suburban bliss' has given way to a recursive nightmare, and the only hope for Gemma and Tom's escape lies within a mysterious box and the infant inside it.
