Stikord: Drama – semi-live – traumatisk
Efter fars død er Karens liv faldet fra hinanden. Hun svigter mest på hjemmefronten, hvor hun overlader alt til sin næsten voksne datter. Da Karen endelig begynder at turde komme ud af sit skjold, møder hun Frank – og det er det værste, der nogensinde er sket for hende.
Frank kidnapper familien, og bruger dem til at udleve sine minder og ideer om glade familiestunder. Der er ingen vej ud, og familien prøver at få et liv til at fungere med Frank.
Er det kun et spørgsmål om overlevelse? Eller er Frank, på sin egen forskruede måde, det bedste der kunne være sket?
