At the sprawling Whitford Estate, Sophia arrives with a heart heavy from recent loss, yet unknowingly becomes the pivot of a deep family tension. Both Liam, the unpredictable younger son, and his composed elder brother James feel drawn to her, their desires entangled in the unspoken hopes of their mother, Evelyn. As time weaves their fates together, a complex bond of love, loyalty, and sacrifice emerges, leading each brother to confront what they are willing to surrender for the woman who has, perhaps unknowingly, captured them both.

At the same time, mysterious and deadly events unfold on the estate that threaten to unbalance the safe environment she has created for her handicapped charges.
