Millie is hired by Nina to work as a housemaid in her house. At first, she is ecstatic about landing the job and having a fresh start. When she starts working in the house, she soon notices that Nina is mean and emotionally unstable and wonders why she is married to Andrew, a handsome and wealthy man. As things start to get out of control, Millie becomes more careful about her next steps to protect herself.
