After the sudden death of her father, 8-year-old Simone shares a secret with her mother Dawn. She’s convinced her father speaks to her through the leaves of her favourite tree and he’s come back to protect them.
But the new bond between mother and daughter is
threatened when Dawn starts a relationship with George, the
plumber, called in to remove the tree’s troublesome roots.
As the branches of the tree start to infiltrate the house, the
family is forced to make an agonising decision. But have they left
it too late?
