After the untimely death of 16-year-old Martin's father on the operating table, a deep and empathetic bond begins to form between him and the respected cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Steven Murphy. At first, expensive gifts and an invitation for dinner earn the orphaned teenager the approval of Steven's perfect family, though a vague and unsettling feeling shadows Martin's intentions. Then, unexpectedly, the idyllic family is struck by a fierce and pitiless punishment, and everything begins to fall apart as the innocents are made to suffer. To find catharsis, one must first admit the sin.
