The story follows Millie, played by Sweeney, a young woman determined to escape a dark past. When she lands a job as a live-in maid for the wealthy Nina and Andrew Winchester—portrayed by Seyfried and '1923' breakout star Brandon Sklenar—her dream opportunity quickly transforms into a dangerous game of deceit, temptation, and power.
