Skylight

Claire - mother of three; wife of an often-absent husband; plagued by an acute anxiety disorder and secret-filled past - discovers a kidnapper in her daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night. Desperate, she offers herself up as hostage instead. Tied up in the boot of an old car, she is driven by her abductor, a quiet Mexican, to a rundown motel. Tense days pass in which Claire learns more about her kidnapper, but not what he wants. Was she the random victom of stalking? Has her past come back to haunt her? Or is it something to do with her husband's work? Gradually Claire uncovers the truth, but questions remain. How is she going to get home? And does she actually want to go back at all? Gripping, intelligent and deeply frightening, Skylight is every mother's nightmare.
