The polar opposite of gregarious Micky, Do is a quiet bank clerk with no social life.

Director Iain Softley (Backbeat, The Wings of the Dove, Inkheart) spent twelve years in his quest to make a new version of the story and the result is a suspenseful, taut, moody thriller. Trap for Cinderella stars Tuppence Middleton (Tormented, Trance), Alex
