In search of a quieter and safer life, Emma and her teenage daughter Beatrice decide to leave behind the hustle and bustle of the big city and start anew in a small town. Hoping to build a more stable future, mother and daughter settle into a seemingly peaceful community, where nature and the slow rhythm of rural life appear to be the perfect backdrop for a fresh start.
For Emma, the move proves to be the right decision from the very beginning. Her career, far from stalling, takes an unexpectedly positive turn. New professional projects excite her and provide the stability she had been seeking for a long time. Meanwhile, Beatrice, despite the drastic change in environment, adapts with surprising ease. She quickly forms friendships with her new classmates, and her charm and warmth do not go unnoticed — even catching the eye of the most popular boy at school, which helps her feel at home even faster.
However, what seemed like a story of healing and new beginnings is soon overshadowed by a disturbing event. One night, Beatrice is attacked by an unknown assailant under circumstances that remain unclear. The incident completely shatters the fragile peace that mother and daughter had managed to build in such a short time. The assault not only leaves physical and emotional scars on Beatrice but also awakens a deep fear in Emma, who begins to question whether this seemingly welcoming town hides darker secrets than she had imagined.
