Synopsis

Cassy, 10, has recently lost her mother. She feels sad and lonely, but her father feels no sorrow towards the loss of his wife. The relationship between father and daughter is tense. One day, a woman named Maya enters their lives by providing Cassy with singing lessons. Maya listens to Cassy and is very loving. She gives her the affection of a mother and treats her with great care, as though Cassy were her own child. Everything would have been fine if Cassy's father had not sexually assaulted Maya.
