The film centers on a well to do couple who pick-up and essentially adopt a young woman, a Ukranian prostitute, from the side of the road. They take her home, try to re-habilitate her but things go sideways when the couple's son returns home and becomes infatuated with the young woman. The film then turns from a fairy tale rescue to a morality tale which forces us to question good intentions and the cost individuals are willing to pay to "do the right thing."
