- Synopsis:
Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) and Jessie (Carla Gugino) Burlingame arrive at an idyllic and isolated lake house for a romantic weekend away, to try and save their marriage. In an attempt to spice up their sex life, Gerald suggests he handcuffs Jessie to the bed. While he takes a Viagra tablet, Jessie calls out to a stray dog outside with some steak and, when re-entering the house, leaves the front door ajar. Jessie changes into a new silk night dress, removes the tag and places it on the shelf above the bed. Gerald takes a second Viagra and leaves his glass of water on the same shelf. He handcuffs Jessie to the bedpost and begins to be rough with her, pretending to be someone else. She becomes uncomfortable by his strange behaviour and soon asks him to stop and uncuff her, to which he asks her, "What if I won't?". Moments later, Gerald suffers a heart attack and dies. He falls backward and off the bed, leaving Jessie locked in the handcuffs to the bed. She begins to call for help but knows nobody will hear her. Hours later as the sun is slowly starting to set, Jessie is becoming more weak and tired. She then hears a noise outside the bedroom. The dog she fed earlier walks into the room and sniffs around Gerald's body. She tries to scare it away but it bites a chunk out of Gerald's arm and lies by the door to eat it. Jessie, distraught and panicked, begins to cry. Minutes later, Gerald stands up, disorientated and in pain at the bite in his arm. Jessie then notices his dead body is still on the floor and realises she is imagining Gerald alive as a figment of her fatigued imagination... - Actors:
