Georgia is preparing dinner when her husband, Lucas, comes home. He shows her the bag of pot that he found in the shed. She denies that it is hers, but he doesn’t believe her. He drags her violently into the basement. She had been hoping to sell it to get money to escape from him. After their marriage and move to the United States, he destroyed her passport, and he keeps her under vigilant surveillance. She once called the police about his abuse, but nothing happened.
