Gunnar is eager to strike out on his own, but his emotionally volatile stepmom, Aaliyah, is far from ready to let him go. Jason, the detached family patriarch, casually chalks her behavior up to “empty nest syndrome,” but for the eccentric MILF, it’s far deeper. Convinced Gunnar’s presence anchors her sanity, Aaliyah will stop at nothing to keep him home. In a desperate move, she confines him to the basement, binding him to prevent his escape. Gunnar tries to reason with her, but Aaliyah’s resolve is unshakable. Eventually, he confesses his motive for leaving: he craves a private space for his romantic escapades. Understanding dawns on Aaliyah, and she strikes a bold bargain—offering him all the passion he desires, so long as he stays by her side.
