The arrival of a bizarre, provoking photographer into a mismatched home causes honest emotions to be exposed and threatens the walls built by the characters. The fragile household, made up of an insecure and hesitant mother, her jealous and patronizing girlfriend and a self-conscious, spoiled son, are confronted with uncomfortable subjects which can only be solved through absolute honesty within themselves and each other. The walls they’ve built up and learnt to rely on are torn down, leaving them completely exposed and struggling to find support within their family.
