The Visit

As she slowly transforms Helen's domestic life, Annie confides to Helen the truth about her childhood, and a deep friendship develops between the two women. Then someone is injured and it’s discovered that Annie is hiding a secret … a terrible, terrible secret that will shatter everything…
