THE STORY

Trying to outrun her past, Millie (played by Sydney Sweeney) lands what seems like a dream gig—working as a live-in housemaid for the ultra-wealthy Winchester family, led by the elegant yet icy Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and her charming husband Andrew (Brandon Sklenar).

But behind their designer walls lies a very different reality. What starts as an idyllic job opportunity quickly spirals into a seductive game of control, scandal, and danger. Secrets pile up, power shifts, and Millie finds herself at the center of a psychological storm where no one is who they seem.
