Forced by her mother to work in the seniors’ residence she manages, fourteen-year-old Sam (Stone) endures a daily gauntlet of cleaning rooms and dealing with disgruntled residents. In addition, Sam`s slower physical development has made her very self-conscious about her body — an uneasiness that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the fellow students in her swim class — and her swim instructor has become strangely solicitous of her. Unhappy amongst her schoolmates, Sam finds herself increasingly drawn to two of the residents at the seniors’ home: silent Judith (Diana Leblanc), who acknowledges Sam exclusively, and Ed (Kenneth Welsh), whose persistent rants and oddly half-hearted attempts to hitch a ride to a mysterious location intrigue and trouble her.
