What if imaginary friends are simply invisible to others?
Whilst waiting in a park for her mother, Esther, a reserved, middle-aged woman, is reluctantly drawn into conversation by a stranger. A chance remark reveals that the stranger is Esther's sole childhood companion -- her imaginary friend, Daisy.
As they explore their past together, the relationship between Esther and her authoritarian mother, driven by religious fervour, is exposed. But why has Daisy reappeared after all these years? Is she there to forgive Esther or for revenge? For Esther, the answers are horrifying.
