Story Overview
After spending six months away at university, a young man returns home expecting everything to feel familiar. His mother, who has always seemed kind, trusting, and a little naive, is no different—at least at first.
Then he discovers that she has been communicating with several strangers online, without realizing that some of them are taking advantage of her trust. Concerned that his mother may be getting herself into trouble, he decides to step in and uncover what is really happening behind these online relationships.
What follows is a story about family, trust, manipulation, and the uneasy process of protecting someone who doesn’t realize they’re being exploited. As the truth comes to light, the son must decide how far he is willing to go to help his mother and whether interfering in her private life will ultimately bring the family closer together or create an even bigger divide.
