Spoilers ahead
Following a nervous breakdown, Chase Phillips returns home from treatment and is assigned a helper, Elizabeth Cole, by her husband, Mr. Richard Phillips. At first, Chase resents the arrangement and treats both her husband and Elizabeth with cold contempt, openly challenging the idea of outsourcing care and even remarking on what Elizabeth might do with the money she earns from the job. The two young boys come back to the house—Little Richard Phillips and Jason Phillips—and their differing welcomes set the tone for a household that will be tested by emotion, memory, and shifting loyalties. While Jason greets Elizabeth with curiosity and warmth, Little Richard meets her with hostility, framing the early tension that threads through the story.
