Synopsis

The video starts with a shot of the mansion and then shows Dido sitting on a bed singing with an image of the man who represents the monster she has been able to rid herself of by ending the terror of the night. He appears normal but his monstrous face is revealed on one side when he turns. Just as she discovered his ugly side so she was trapped in the night of this darkened mansion.
