A disturbed mother distorts her adult son’s views of reality, locking him under a set of specific rules designed to keep him from leaving the home.

But when Eilidh finds she cannot go through with the termination, the pair are forced into an awkward, absurd and increasingly intimate attempt at preparing for parenthood. As they stumble into something that looks suspiciously like a relationship, they begin to question the lives they thought they wanted and what they really mean to each other.
