Written and directed by Black Mirror and The End of the F***ing World actor Alex Lawther, the short is, in Lawther's own words, a “response to a contemporary contradiction – needing interaction, being terrified of it” (via Deadline).
Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply) plays Rhoda, a woman who is used to living alone.
D'Arcy, who is best known for starring as Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO's fantasy epic House of the Dragon, plays Louis, the strange lodger Rhoda takes in, and whose presence in her house leads to some pretty disturbing events.

The dark tale isn't the first time Lawther and D'Arcy have worked together on a project.
The pair worked together on Lawther's first short, For People in Trouble, which counted Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as producers, and which also starred Midsommar and Saltburn star Archie Madekwe.
Its London Film Festival premiere is to be followed by a second screening later this month, with the film's official Instagram page teasing more screening dates to come.
