"False accusations mix with the wildfire spread of social media with deadly consequences when twenty-something Harri travels from the city to dog sit for his parents in the countryside," reads the film's synopsis.

"How far would you go to clear your name," teases the trailer graphics, as we see Harri apprehended by an intruder brandishing a blade and later running from his home.
