When Tess agrees to move into her aged mother-in-law's idyllic country cottage, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to escape the distractions of the city and start work on a novel. However, life in the Gingerbread House is no fairy tale. Tess is utterly unprepared for the reality of caring for Eleanor, who suffers from dementia.

Feeling increasingly isolated, she struggles to cope as Eleanor fluctuates between violent mood swings, childlike dependency and moments of heart-wrenching lucidity. Meanwhile, Tess' teenage daughter, Katia, is helpless to intercede. In the end she can only watch as things fall apart and a tragedy even closer to home surfaces....
