Inspired by the original "Sleeping Beauty" fairytale, Rose introduces us to a young, impressionable girl who, instead of pricking her finger on a spinning wheel, becomes bewitched by the seductive world of drugs and dependency. It's a story about control – or the loss of it – and how much Rose is willing to jeopardize as she searches for her own self-worth. Simultaneously, Rose's father, Robert, struggles with his own past as he watches his daughter make the same decisions that almost killed him thirty-five years ago. Can he save Rose before she follows in his footsteps?

In this psychological thriller, we meet Lily, a girl willing to be held hostage in the middle of the forest by an ex-drug addict in order to save her father’s life.Lily’s father, Don, suffers a terrible car crash, and Lily finds his car at the bottom of an embankment. After battling through a dark forest and the terrible cold, she comes upon a lone cabin in the middle of the woods. There she finds her father chained to a wall--held hostage by Seven, the cabin's owner and an ex-drug addict who now believes that he is The Chosen One. Lily is able to convince Seven to let her father go by taking her father's place. As the story develops, we witness--through Lily's journal entries--that she is becoming a victim of Stockholm Syndrome.
