A dark, claustrophobic psychological drama rooted in a true crime case, exploring obsession, isolation, and forbidden desire between two sisters whose relationship becomes increasingly toxic under their employer's scrutiny.

A true story of shocking violence catapults a picturesque little town into history. The close sibling relationship between the two maids takes on a new dimension as their overbearing employer discovers a sexual fever between the two sisters.
