Social worker Norah struggles to balance her demanding workload with caring for her elderly father Horace, an ex-POW who has dementia. On a particularly bad day, as Horace is sinking into a distressing episode, his daycare centre unexpectedly calls to say they are closed and Norah is forced to leave him home alone. In his delusional state, Horace mistakes his kind neighbour Mr. Wong for a Japanese camp guard. As the horrors of his past resurface to haunt his present, Norah's precariously balanced house of cards starts to collapse.
