Tully becomes entangled in an incomprehensibly disturbing situation, when she and her pre-teenage son, Harry, move into a rented apartment following her marriage breakdown. Unable to obtain any constructive action, even after showing police evidence of home invasion and stalking, she becomes silent about the escalating trauma in her life, still readily socialising and functioning successfully as a loving mother, employed as a teacher. She never tells Harry. But, her identity as Tully slips into the Woman, powerless and emotionally isolated even when part of a loving family. Many become aware of her situation but nobody will intervene. Except for Hugo.
