An isolated young woman. Her frightened mom. A world closing in on them.

At twenty-one, Suzie has withdrawn from a world she finds alien and confusing. She has Asperger's Syndrome and high anxiety. To her, the world is a harsh, scary place where she does not fit in.

She spends much of her day sleeping and most of her nights on the computer. Her mother, Amanda, wishes Suzie would get a job, go to school or at least help out around the house. Suzie feels that her time is amply filled with the compelling world lurking within her computer.

Amanda wants more for Suzie, but does not know how to help her move forward. When she tries putting pressure on her, Suzie's paralyzing anxiety takes over, resulting in morose withdrawal or worse, lengthy tantrums.

Suzie is most content when alone in the basement with her computer. Staring at her monitor, the rest of the world falls away and she feels at home.

But when an intruder breaks into the house, Amanda has only Suzie to rely on.

Is Suzie up to the task?
