Bereft

In an attempt to move forward, and get back out into the world, a single mother hires a babysitter for the night of her date. The babysitter is told not to disturb the baby while sleeping as she is learning how to self-soothe. But the babysitter’s intrusive curiosity takes over and she decides to go check on the baby—a decision she soon regrets. Filled with contempt, the babysitter is forced to grapple with the harsh reality of this mother’s past and figure out how to deal with what she has just found.
