 Ben and his wife Maria are happy and successful people. One day their lives are disrupted by a letter from Maria s mother, who she ran away from at the age of 16. Due to the bad blood between Rosa (her mother) and her, Maria is reluctant to go, but agrees when Ben insists. Once at Rosa s mansion, Ben finds himself in a spiderweb of lies and perverted storytelling, as both Rosa and Maria explain about their past. While Rosa claims Maria is mentally ill, Maria claims Rosa helped her stepfather molest her when she was a girl back in Italy. But the married couple will find that some secrets are better left buried, for these revelations are deadly.
