Captivated follows the story of a young, single mother, Rachel, and her young son, Liam. They’re on the poverty line, but she works all hours of the day as a cleaner to give him the best life she can. One day, her boss at the cleaning firm is approached by a businesswoman who says she’s acting for a wealthy client called Elliot. Her client observed Rachel working at a hotel where he’s a regular guest, and she asked if Rachel could clean for him exclusively. Better pay, fewer hours – it sounds too good to be true. Gradually, Elliot’s behavior towards Rachel and Liam becomes increasingly controlling. When suspicions are raised, Rachel starts to dig into his past, uncovering a dark and disturbing story from his childhood that explains his obsession with them. What ensues is a nail-biting thriller that asks the question: how far would you go to repair your past?
