A woman hires a housekeeper to care for her aging parents, only to find herself watching as the caregiver takes over their lives in this gripping tale of suspense. Jodi Bishop, a successful real estate agent, feels the strain of being the primary breadwinner while her husband, Harrison, struggles with his own unfulfilled ambitions as a writer. Jodi's father, Vic, a controlling figure, has devoted himself to caring for his wife, Audrey, who has been battling Parkinson's for eight years. As exhaustion sets in, Jodi decides to hire help and chooses Elyse Woodley, an energetic widow in her sixties who initially seems perfect for the role. Vic, though hesitant at first, grows fond of Elyse's cheerful demeanor, and Jodi appreciates having someone to confide in. However, things take a dark turn when Elyse begins to isolate Jodi and Audrey's health deteriorates rapidly. Suspicion arises as Jodi notices Elyse wearing her mother's jewelry and wonders about her true intentions. How far will Elyse go to achieve her goals, and what will Jodi do to protect her family?
