Claire arrives home from the office but unknown to her a stranger has let himself into her property and hides in wait for her as she enters her home. She is quickly grabbed and we next see her tied up on her livingroom floor, ankles tied and wrists bound behind her back. She has also been kept quiet with a large handkerchief stuffed in her mouth which is being held in place with pvc duct tape. She looks around in worry and rolls around the floor trying to free herself. She manages to peel away the tape from her mouth by rubb8ng her cheeks on the floor and manages to spit out the large wadded up hanky put this is all in vein as the man reappears and proceeds to stuff her mouth once again and th8s time he wraps the tape around her head nice and tight preventing her from removing the gag and cloth. He lays her down and takes a roll of string and proceeds to tie poor claims toes together and then ties another length of string from her toes to her wrist putting her into a toe hogtie. He leaves her to struggle once again and roll round the floor with her bound bare feet on show. She spots some scissors that he has left on the sofa but they are just out of reach, the hogtie preventing her from getting up. She rolls back down to the floor in defeat and trys once again to free herself pulling at the thin string and rope. She screams for help but the gag is muffling her screams and once again the man returns and drags her to the other room
