A paranoid, atmospheric thriller about a family's unraveling sense of safety in a deceptively sinister small town, grounded in intimate family bonds but suffused with dread and philosophical unease.

A same-sex couple moves to a small town so they can enjoy a better quality of life and raise their 16 year-old daughter with the best social values. But nothing is as it seems in their picturesque neighborhood.
