'Young Fin (The Visit's Ed Oxenbould) and his father Al (Ewen Leslie) are grieving the loss of Fin's mother three years before, albeit in very different and singular ways. When their small town gains a new florist — a mysterious, warm, and beautiful woman named Evelyn (the luminous Melissa George) — Al and Fin encounter her uniquely, each without the other's knowledge.
'In short order, Evelyn electrifies them both. But when father and son discover they are, essentially, competing for Evelyn's attention, the emotionally charged events that transpire threaten to unravel their already-threadbare relationship.'
