Was he her dream or obsession? Was she his mother or his lover?

DramaMystery

Years after a desperate teenage Linda gives up her baby for adoption, she finds herself face-to-face with Martin, a young man claiming to be her long-lost son. Linda embraces Martin and in him finds a welcome reprieve from her unhappy marriage to the neglectful Henry. But soon Martin grows violent and becomes obsessed with Henry -- a philandering man whose only offspring is an expansive model train set that devours his waking hours.

VIBE

A suffocating small-town drama where simmering resentments and desperate desires collide. It feels like a slow descent into madness, wrapped in a melancholic haze, with an undercurrent of dread that never quite dissipates.
