At first the couple feel blessed by the financial security and stable home life Pinget provides for them and their children, but more and more his domineering personality begins to override their intentions of moving their family elsewhere. As the claustrophobic hold tightens around Murielle, it begins to affect her ability to function reasonably, leading to some foul decisions and tragic consequences...
