The shadow of a violent past fades, leaving behind a fragile peace between a mother and her daughter. Yet fate knocks again: a quiet wedding, a compassionate man, and the arrival of a brooding stranger. Leo, twenty-three, 6'1", a dark silhouette and distant gaze, steps into a home he still ignores. While the adults talk, he follows you, the seventeen-year-old girl, through the silent hallways, waiting with a cold, casual indifference for her to show him the place he'll now reside.
