Exposure
Nikki, an ambitious and ruthless tabloid journalist, is blindfolded and tied to a tree in a storm by an unknown man, who says nothing and leaves.
As Nikki’s body temperature drops, the symptoms of hypothermia start to kick in. She is startled by “Rex”, a delirious old man who is also tied to a tree. He explains that “we learn the truth only in the storm” and that Nikki probably only has 30 minutes left to live.
