Present, Three days, flashforward a few months at the end.
100% takes place in a two-story farmhouse (100 years old) in rural Tenessee.
LAINEY (4) collects rotten apples outside an old farmhouse. JESSICA DARCY (20), too young to be a mother, weathered, comes looking for her daughter. Jessica feeds her baby MASON (6 months old) as she talks to her sister. Jessica plans on moving the kids tonight, but her sister insists she takes a drug test to prove she is now clean. Jessica agrees.
Jessica is packing when the pantry door shuts. The door has no handle and she is locked in. ROB TILLER (22), a scrappy meth addict, shows up and lets Jessica out. Rob is the father of Jessica’s two children, and he has brought a rumored sex-offender SAMMY (45) to the house with him. When Jessica asks them to leave, Rob gets angry and drags her back into the pantry, locking her in again.
Rob boards up the pantry door. Jessica screams at Lainey to go upstairs and lock the bedroom door with the baby. She does. Jessica’s hand gets punctured by a nail, and Rob slides meth under the door to taunt her. Rob then takes her purse and the two men leave. Jessica instructs Lainey to lock the front door and take care of the baby.
The next morning Lainey...
