Widowed mother Holly is pushed to breaking point when her daughter Betsey claims she has experienced a profound enlightenment. She believes she has been chosen to serve a higher power and that a new dawn is coming. Refusing to eat, yet losing no weight, Betsey's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic and her family are torn between love and fear.
