    Eileen devoted her entire adult life to raising her son, and everything is going perfectly as he prepares to finish college and live the life she's always wanted for him. But then her son brings home a new bride who threatens to ruin everything she has worked for. Eileen takes it upon herself to find out what her new daughter-in-law's secrets are, and what she finds is not what she expected. Suddenly, she realizes that she and her son are in the middle of a dangerous crisis, which she sees no way out of.

When she got back to the stairway, they were still going at it. She grabbed on to the wooden railing to climb the stairs, her scrawny arm struggling to pull her body’s weight upwards.
