In a large London house filled with antiques, elderly Mrs. Rampage reluctantly hires a new housekeeper, Mrs. Roach, to help her cope with loneliness. Their relationship quickly deteriorates as boundaries are crossed and tensions rise, leading to a tense and unstable coexistence. As their situation worsens, both women find themselves caught in increasingly dire circumstances, with disastrous consequences looming.
