Dominatrix Rebecca (Margaret Qualley) and her wealthy client Hal (Christopher Abbott) fight for control in the upcoming dark comedy Sanctuary.

Hal wants to end their long, secret relationship now that he's CEO of his father's hotel chain, but Rebecca wants half his salary for helping him get the job. The two battle it out over the course of one night with a duel of wits that's as sexy as it's twisted. From shifting power dynamics to bombshell revelations, Sanctuary promises an unpredictable, enticing ride.

Sanctuary hits theaters May 19.
