A quietly sinister psychological thriller about a seemingly benevolent couple who take in vulnerable elderly lodgers under the guise of kindness, then drug and manipulate them to gain control of their money and wills. Their careful routine is unsettled when a young foreign relative becomes entangled in their lives, triggering a tense power struggle that exposes petty cruelties, mounting dread, and the chilling logic of exploitation leading to a bleak, inevitable end.
