Jen (Laurence Leboeuf), a quiet, solitary 16-year-old, lives with her mother Sarah (Marina Hands, Lady Chatterley) in a small town in rural Quebec. She feels alienated from her classmates at school because she doesn’t drink or wear make-up, and also from her mother, Sarah, who projects her regrets about her own life onto Jen. After her father’s suicide, Jen’s taciturn uncle (her father’s half-brother, Ian) comes to stay with them. Estranged from the rest of her father’s family, Jen is drawn to Ian, first as a father figure and gradually as an object of desire. When the local gossip reaches Sarah and she realizes the nature of Ian and Jen’s relationship, her worst fears for her daughter seem to be coming true. She tells Ian to leave, but not before events have been set in motion that will change their lives forever.
