From the off the film's influencer protagonist is set up as a borderline sociopath, but we soon come to realise she's simply running away from a past she wants to escape. Rather than gleefully waiting for her to get what's coming, we grow to like James (Cathy Marks) enough for us to root for her to make it to the end of her ordeal.
