In the vein of HARD CANDY and GONE GIRL, PET is a psychological thriller that deals with the themes of identity, loneliness, selflessness and what it means to truly possess another. It's told through the prism of two isolated people.

Seth bumps into his old high school crush and quickly becomes obsessed with her. He takes her captive underneath the animal shelter where he works but soon suspects that his old flame is not who she seems to be. PET is at its heart a dark love story which examines how much one is willing to sacrifice in the name of love.

Dominic Monaghan plays Seth and Ksenia Solo plays the object of his affection. PET also stars Jennette McCurdy, Nathan Parsons, and HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT director Gary Tunnicliffe. The film was written by LAZARUS EFFECT screenwriter Jeremy Slater, who is also working on Fox's Exorcist series.
