What Is The Fox About?

The premise of The Fox without spoilers.

Jill Banford and Ellen March have built a comfortable life together on a hard‑working Canadian farm, sharing a close bond. Their quiet routine is upended when the attractive Paul Grenfell arrives, stirring distrust and competition. As tensions rise, the couple—and the viewer—wonder whether Paul is truly the source of discord or simply a catalyst that reveals a long‑suppressed, unexplored sexual tension between the two women.
