Around two o’clock in the afternoon at the park, a woman is reading a book on a bench. Meanwhile, a bird flies on a tree, the clouds cover the sun, a cat grooms itself, the waterwheel spins, pigeons rest on the pavement, a man loiters in the corner of the lawn, a butterfly flutters from flower to flower, the fountain gushes, carps swim in the pond, and ants go about their business.

Frances Austen, a young, wealthy spinster, invites a mute teenager into her apartment after finding him freezing in the park next to where she lives. Despite her best efforts, their lack of communication only increases her sense of loneliness, as her possessiveness spirals into frightening new realms.
