Part 3/7:
The Abel family settles into the house, albeit uneasily. The nights are sleepless for Francis, who falls into the role of the protector, even as tensions rise within the family. Iris expresses her discomfort in remaining in the house, suggesting they venture north, a move firmly resisted by Francis. As days pass, an air of dread envelops their home. The family faces physical dangers, emotional conflicts, and the psychological burden of Francis’s abusive past, which rears its head as he tries to prepare his sons for the harsh realities outside.
