In 1997 Singapore, the struggling Lim family hires a Filipino maid, Teresa (Angeli Bayani). Initially antagonistic, the troublesome young son Jiale (Koh Jia Ler) slowly forms a profound, unique bond with her. However, as the devastating Asian Financial Crisis heavily impacts his parents (Chen Tianwen, Yeo Yann Yann), Teresa’s future with their emotionally fractured household becomes increasingly threatened.
