In this dramatic thriller, Karen returns to her childhood home in Nova Scotia after her mother's death to handle her affairs and manage the care of her developmentally-disabled older sister, Kelli. Taking on a caregiver role was not something Karen had planned on or wanted to do. In fact, she and her mother, Irene, had a big argument years earlier because Irene insisted on keeping Kelli at home and caring for her there, rather than sending her to an institution.
Luckily (or maybe not), one of Kelli's caregivers, Trevor, steps in to help. Officially, Trevor's job is to accompany Kelli on a walk twice a week. As Karen gets overwhelmed with her caregiving duties, Trevor starts taking on more responsibilities. However, he also keeps coming by unannounced and using his key to get into the house. Pretty soon, Trevor's help starts to feel manipulative and he's also adamant that he knows what's best for everyone involved.
