His flight leads him back home, hoping to find sanctuary with his siblings.

She's been a victim of circumstance, a prisoner bound to the home, forced to care for failing parents, forced to witness their demise while subjugated by the abusive control of their eldest sister, Carrie. Ever wary of Matthew, Salena responds cautiously, yet almost defiantly. However, she needs him to aid her in her struggle with Carrie. Matthew must come to understand his own role in this dysfunctional family's structure. He stays to aid Salena and to seek reparations for his own personal, longstanding battle with Carrie.
