Divorcee Helen Knightley, an artist's model, spontaneously murders her mother, a lifelong agoraphobic now suffering from severe dementia, by suffocating her with a towel. Over the next twenty-four hours, as Helen tries desperately to conceal her crime, and in doing so ropes her ex-husband into the conspiracy, she recalls her childhood and subsequent relationship with her mother.
