Adapting the Spanish novel by Ariana Harwicz, Lawrence and Pattinson play Grace and Jackson, a couple who move from New York City to the countryside in Montana to seek a quieter life as they start a family.

Residing in the house previously owned by Jackson’s late uncle, Grace struggles to adjust. She suffers from postpartum depression after giving birth, and she is bored in their new, mundane life, which leads to increasingly concerning behavior in her endless desire to feel satisfaction.
