Teddy Brex emerges from a loveless, isolated childhood as a handsome but autistic young man. Francine Hill , emotionally and mentally scarred by the murder of her mother, grows into a beautiful young woman, who must endure the over-protectiveness of an increasingly obsessive stepmother.

It's a world in which innocent dreams can turn into the most terrible living nightmares...
