Watch Me Watch You

With her beautiful inherited flat in London, Alice appears to have it all. But the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. She needs money, and fast.

Her boss Mina is married to a powerful MP and lives a life dripping with luxury – one Alice could only dream of. And she’s about to make Alice an offer she can’t refuse.

When Alice agrees to loan Mina her flat for the night – she couldn’t in her wildest dreams imagine what Mina is planning to use it for.

Soon the two women become trapped in a dangerous cycle of desire, secrets and lies. Where will it end? And who will survive?
