"Someone's Daughter follows Bussières as Sam, "a criminal defense lawyer in her 50s, who is kidnapped and abandoned on a remote island with Paul [Arnaud], a former client she successfully defended a decade earlier when he was accused of raping the kidnapper's daughter," as per an official synopsis. "As the pair struggles to survive the brutal Canadian backcountry, an uneasy bond forms. However, Paul's behaviour turns increasingly toxic, leading Sam to an impossible choice.""
"In a first look at the tense new movie, Francois Arnaud appears shirtless and brandishing a gun, seemingly in a state of distress. A second photo shows Arnaud and Bussières as Paul and Sam looking grubby and dishevelled as they attempt to survive their time in the wilderness. Someone's Daughter is written and directed by Wiebke von Carolsfeld, who previously worked with Elliot Page on 2002 indie drama Marion Bridge."
"Despite his TV and film career beginning almost two decades ago - and with roles in hits including , Yellowjackets and Schitt's Creek - Arnaud found overnight fame at the tailend of 2025 thanks to his role in steamy queer hockey series, Heated Rivalry. Arnaud plays ice hockey pro Scott Hunter, who falls in love with barista Kip Grady, played by Robbie G.K."
