Faced with his parents' divorce, eleven-year-old Lucas runs away from his house in the hope that his family will get back together to find him. On his way walking through the empty streets, he is picked up by a mysterious woman who offers to take care of him and provide him with a loving family.  

The boy then wakes up in handcuffs, confined to a bed in a decrepit house in the middle of nowhere and will have to face his deepest fears in order to survive in his new home.
