    Rose, (20), lives in Montreal. She almost never lies. She possesses a natural elegance and candour beyond her years. But beneath the gloss, Rose hides a dark secret that neither her friends nor her lover know about: her childhood in a violent family household.

    Two years after leaving for Montreal Rose returns to visit her mother and her brother, Felix (16), in their suburban home. Nothing has changed: her mother's resignation, her brother's victimization, and her father's abusiveness.

    Rose decides it's time to act. She kidnaps and sequesters her father in an attempt to change the course of her family's life. Little by little, she assumes the role of the head of the family but her determination is countered by her father's resistance.

    Captured, will he capitulate? Will Rose and her family be able to recover and rebuild a decent life?
