Ten-year-old Finn lives a quiet life with his mother, before the arrival of her half-sister disturbs the established order. Finn’s mother welcomes Linda into her family after her ex-husband dies and Linda’s mother is placed in a psychiatric ward. Finn, who must protect her, comes to a painful realization about the way society treats people who are a little different.
