Her father is suffering from Alzheimer’s and she finds her mother’s behaviour overbearing and manipulative. Out clubbing one night to escape them, she meets Pascal, a mysterious, handsome local man, and the two quickly forge an intense relationship. But before long he is being linked to a series of murders on the island, leaving Moll feeling increasingly isolated, having ostracised her family but remaining loyal to the man she believes she loves.
