The film follows Mabel Longhetti, a woman trapped in an increasingly unstable existence in Los Angeles. Her turbulent emotional state, compounded by the pressures of marriage and motherhood, pushes her to the edge. Her husband, Nick, recognizes that she poses a threat not only to herself but also to their children and reluctantly checks Mabel into an institution for six months. As he navigates single fatherhood, Nick waits for his wife's return, anticipating the challenges and changes that will undoubtedly accompany her release. This powerful and emotional tale delves into the complexities of mental health, family dynamics, and the strength it takes to face adversity head-on.
