Successful author Jake inherits his estranged mother, whom he hasn't had contact with for many years. When he goes home for Christmas to clean up her house, Rachel appears. She is an adoptive child searching for her biological mother, whom she knows nothing about more than the fact that she worked as a housekeeper for Jake's family when he was little. After a while, Jake also wants to help her find clues, even though he must simultaneously confront events from his childhood.
A good movie where the story unfolds through the plot. Lots of conflicting emotions and knots to untangle. Worth watching.
