"We were emotional train wrecks to be honest," she confessed to the outlet with a laugh. "[Kinnaman and I] had to open the door in ourselves to really unpleasant emotions. I'm holding him hostage in my basement. I'm putting him through a lot of extreme things. We went to those emotional places, and they become real so it was hard for us."

Here's the official synopsis for THE SECRETS WE KEEP:
