As the illness consumes the wife and the husband struggles with his own human connections, the young girl attempts to claim her place in this strange new family dynamic. In the tradition of Black Snake Moan, the husband must rediscover his humanity and choose between his increasingly erratic and sexually explorative new housemate and his deteriorating wife.
