A group of adolescent victims of sex trafficking live temporarily in a shelter hidden in a forest. Accustomed to a nocturnal schedule, the girls spend their days sleeping. Abigail visits a room with the babies, result of the abuse they have suffered; hers is 5 months old and she carries him as if he were a doll. Small details reveal the horror they have gone through, unseen but sensed.
