Roger’s plans for an easy escape change when a family trip places him in close quarters with his stepmother, Gwen. As days slow down, small details—glances, pauses, unspoken thoughts—begin to matter more than words. The story focuses on mood and inner change rather than dramatic events, showing how proximity can challenge assumptions and reveal new perspectives. Warm visuals and a measured pace create an immersive atmosphere where reflection, restraint, and choice quietly take center stage.
