Seeking a fresh start for their marriage, British woman Anna and her Australian husband Jake move to Melbourne with their two small children.
Lulled into a false sense of security, Anna recommits to Jake. She continues to confide in Becky, unaware that Becky is under Jake's spell and plotting with him against her.
Becky is conflicted when Anna tells her that Jake is physically abusive, showing her a bruise on her shoulder and claiming that Jake hit her. Anna realises she must protect her kids.
Becky helps Anna set up an apartment where she is safe from Jake, and on the day Anna is due to move out and take the kids, she asks Becky to stay at home.
