Irina hits a dog while driving on a country road and gets it to its owner Mikhail. His 8-year-old son Dima, who went silent after a psychological trauma, takes Irina for his deceased mother and won’t let her go. Mikhail, fearing Dima might go silent again, forces Irina to stay, making her a prisoner in his house.
