Michael Harding (Penn Badgley) returns home from military school and to his surprise finds his mother, Susan (Sela Ward), is not only happily in love but also living with her new boyfriend, David Harris (Dylan Walsh).

However, as the two men get to know each other, Michael becomes more and more suspicious of the man who is always there with a helpful hand. Is he really the man of her dreams or could David be hiding a dark side?
