The video introduces Ridley as a mother who recently gave birth to her second child. After her husband begins to accompany their daughter to a film production, she starts suspecting that her husband might be having an affair with a movie star. The trailer teases the things Ridley’s character will do as she deals with overwhelming emotions triggered by her husband’s potential affair and recent childbirth.

“The film centers around married couple Anette and Ben, whose lives begin to fracture when their daughter is cast alongside a glamorous movie star, Alicia,” reads the film’s synopsis. “As Anette’s suspicions of Ben’s infatuation with Alicia intensify, their secrets and lies threaten to burst to the surface and destroy them all.”
