Amy Stuart finds herself in a small coastal town in northern California after an aimless drive away from Los Angeles. She decides to stay and quickly gets a job as a live-in nanny for a nine-year-old boy in a household that is riddled with secrets. Bryson Wilde is her new employer and the emotionally absent father of Dean Wilde. There is no sign of a mother in residence, and it is apparently not okay to ask questions about this or anything else about the family. But Amy is not the type to conform to toxic, ridiculous rules and so she begins to slowly chip away at the facades of both father and son. Coincidentally, there is a sinister plot at play at the same time, and the more that Amy uncovers, the more vulnerable they all become to evil intentions!
