In an attractive Victorian house, a sweet and kind-hearted elderly woman named Millicent W. McGowan lives peacefully, enjoying her solitude and routines in the neighborhood. Her life takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious man, a fugitive thief known as "the stranger," breaks into her home, seeking refuge. From the very first moment, his personal charm and persuasive tricks manage to captivate her, leading Millicent to open the doors of her home to him.
What begins as a friendship quickly transforms into a tense game of manipulation. The stranger is not only looking for a place to stay, but he has far more sinister plans. As their bond deepens, Millicent's trust is tested when her life becomes invaded by a series of chilling events instigated by this intruder.
Caught between her compassionate nature and the growing threat of the intruder, Millicent faces moral dilemmas that will lead her down a dangerous path. Her home, once a refuge filled with warmth, turns into a battleground between kindness and betrayal. Unsure of who to trust, she must use all her cunning to save herself and regain control of her life before the stranger consumes everything she loves and changes her forever.
