Trailer
The trailer opens with Ophelia in a car with McKeough.
She's pleading with him to believe what she's saying, but he insists she's not in her right mind.
The video cuts to a scene of Ophelia and her professor getting close.
A woman narrates over the clip, "You're not the first."
We're then shown the lady speaking to Ophelia; she adds, "And you won't be the last."
Later in the video, Ophelia tells the professor that she's pregnant.
As the trailer goes on, she becomes more and more certain that Roisin is still alive.
She tells McKeough, "Roisin's alive!" However, he doesn't believe her, "I found the body!"
