As a high school teacher in a quiet town, Holly grapples with personal challenges, including a strained marriage and haunting memories.
Holly is married to Rob (Bryce Pinkham), who is focused on a promotion at the local supermarket, and is the mother to two teenage sons who frequently show impatience and irritation towards her.
Her children often fault her for minor problems, and one of her high school students, Paul (Zach Rand), displays a concerning fascination with her, which is underscored when she finds troubling sketches of herself in his notebook.
Holly's relationship with her estranged sister, Claudia (Ashley Bell), is fraught due to their shared difficult past.
Concurrently, visible signs of sleep deprivation and her regular visits to the medicine cabinet hint at her ongoing internal battles.
