Angela, a divorcee, is severely depressed, isolating herself, not eating, and sunk in melancholy after the tragic death of her twenty-five-year-old only son. Trying to keep him alive, she writes long letters to him and, by reading the emails on his computer, becomes convinced that somewhere she has a grandson, conceived through donor insemination. When she spots a young boy, the image of her son, she schemes to take what is her own and pour out her love on him.
