After a tragic shooting incident at her local mall in rural New Hampshire, English professor Maggie Daley is left shocked to discover that the gunman was her former student. She is even more dismayed when she stumbles upon an old essay that contains hints of his violent nature, which she might have overlooked. As the incident begins to fade from the national spotlight, it nevertheless consumes a growing portion of Maggie's attention and obsession, disrupting her relationships with her daughter, ex-husband, and new lover. Meanwhile, both Maggie's employer and a determined blogger separately delve into the shooter's troubled past, exerting pressure on Maggie to confront her potential culpability and risk the life she has built.

It also explores the complexities of human relationships, challenging our perceptions of spouses, parents, and students and urging us to see them as they truly are.
Through the poignant and introspective narrative of Maggie Daley, the film offers a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche and the challenges we face in understanding and confronting the darkness within ourselves and others. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, compassion, and open communication in navigating the complexities of our interconnected lives.
