A dark, intimate family drama that subverts the redemptive return narrative into psychological horror, exploring trauma, identity, and the impossibility of reclaiming the past.

When Laura Harris's kidnapped son returns after eleven devastating years, what she thinks will be a dream come true turns out to be a family nightmare.
