After decades in the same apartment, surrounded by the remnants of her long artistic life, Penny’s world begins to blur. When a fall sends her to a secluded long-term care home her late partner arranged years before, the change feels peaceful at first. The rooms are filled with light, the residents are kind, and for the first time in years, Penny begins to paint again.
But as days blend together, unease creeps in. The staff seem to watch too closely, and time itself feels unreliable. Is Penny succumbing to age and memory loss, or has she entered something far more disturbing?
