After Hugo drunkenly ruins a wedding, he travels to a secluded cabin to dry out.

But his picture-perfect retreat isn’t quite perfect. The caretaker, Mila, is oddly nosy, the only thing in the fridge is vodka, and the rental instructions have one unsettling rule: “Always close and lock the patio door.”
