When Anne (Michaela Kurimsky) is hired by her missing music professor's husband (Alan Van Sprang) as a live-in nanny, she becomes entangled in the family's secrets and begins to mentally unravel. Ostensibly stranded at a remote lakeside cottage, she's driven to consider the circumstances behind her mentor's disappearance. Employing a nonlinear narrative, Hannah Cheesman's old-school psychological thriller keeps Anne teetering on the brink of an implosion as she hurtles towards a reckoning with the past.

Musical talent or jealosy

We slowly learn that the Boat house has secrets, a babysitter appears to have her own psychological history but finds escapes as a babysitter for her music supervisor.

The director has closed grip on the tale of suspense , the movie seems to me worth watching one time by the fans of psychological horror-thriller.

Our protagonist has justification for what she does, we do not see her punished by law.
