Rosie is going for an auditionand is inevitably last to perform and she finds herself standing in a room, at a glance she sees the silhouette of a man sitting at a desk shadowed by high key lighting. A spotlight is cast onto the white walls where Rosie is standing. Anxiously she hesitates to speak to the figure.

From a camera filming her audition, this will be one shot, her instructions are to fetch the chair from the corner and place it central to the figure and pretend to be tied to the seat; she is gagged and a bag is forced on her head. She continues to act, thinking this is her audition piece when she is struck in the head with a hammer. She is daised (Point of view) blurred screen and she hears voices which are distorted. She is carried to the car where it is cut to a black screen where Rosie wakes up. The screen goes black and a series of cuts with a fast rhythm of Rosie trying to escape.
