Spoilers ahead

Adele Frances Eve is a lonely teenage girl who has been sent to care for her aunt Dora Susan Kellermann, a woman who is deeply agoraphobic and refuses any contact beyond a stream of notes slid under the door along with a strict set of rules. The atmosphere inside Dora’s quiet apartment feels claustrophobic and controlled, a place where Adele aches for connection but mostly watches and waits. That tension shifts when a new presence arrives: Beth Quinn Shephard, a bright, fearless young woman whose energy stands in stark contrast to Dora’s restrained world.
