After vowing never to return, a young woman must come home for Christmas to save her father from trapping himself inside his few remaining memories.

A year after vowing never to speak to her dishonest father again, April's new life in the city is interrupted by a visit from Linette, the neighbor who bought her family's farm. April's father, Bill, has been secretly living in the barn that he no longer owns and it seems like his mind is fading. Her reluctant return confirms her father's stubborn attitude but April doesn't see his mental issues until he mistakes her for Marie, her deceased mother. It looks like the early stages of dementia. Bill becomes his own kidnapper as April and her friends try to convince Bill of his need for help before the sheriff's department arrives. Just as the police surround Bill and prepare to treat him as a violent threat, April and her small group of dedicated friends have to break through Bill's doubts and guilt to convince him to get the help that Marie would have wanted.
