Dan McGregor built an empire by controlling people, outcomes, and emotions. When his developmentally delayed brother Brett is placed in his care, he thinks he can control this too. He chooses an up-market residential facility to care for his brother, believing this place can provide the care and attention Dan doesn’t have time for.
But the colorful walls and welcoming atmosphere is concealing something unthinkable, and Brett is abused by people Dan thought he could trust. Dan takes Brett into his own home, underprepared, overconfident, and refusing to consider any alternative. The situation spirals and is faced with a choice: accept help, or risk losing his brother completely.

As Dan navigates caregiving, he’s forced to confront how much he’s forgotten about caring for others, how much that has already cost him, and how his arrogance led him to put his innocent brother in harm’s way.

This is a story about learning to be there. About rebuilding what you destroyed when you became too selfish to protect it. And about how the most innocent minds can be the most powerful.
