synopsis

Eighteen-year-old cheerleader Stacey can't handle the loss of her recently deceased mother. She decides to keep mother's body hidden from the outside world and tries to hold on to the illusion that by doing this, they can keep on spending their lives together.
De 18-jarige cheerleader Stacey kan het verlies van haar onlangs overleden moeder niet verwerken. Ze beslist om het lichaam van haar moeder verborgen te houden in huis en bijt zich vast in de illusie dat ze op die manier hun leven samen kunnen blijven verderzetten.
