Mabel and Jane are a pair of twin sisters living in a beautiful but dilapidated house. Mabel, a former actress, seems to have an unhealthy hold over Jane, who has been unable to meet with her son, Tom, for years. Their caretaker, Seth, advises Jane to convince Mabel to move to a retirement home. However, this leads to a conflict that unravels the relative cohesion between the sisters.
