Plot: With death further strengthening their bond, step-siblings Andy and Piper find themselves hastily placed into the foster care system following a tragic home accident. After all, Andy is not yet of legal age to apply for guardianship; he must wait three long months before they move into their new place. Until then, the troubled youth must behave himself as Laura, an empathetic foster mum coping with silent grief, offers to adopt them both into her secluded home in the woods. However, there is something off about the artificially benevolent guardian. Without a doubt, Laura wants something so bad she can taste it. The problem is, she must never bend the rules or break the circle. But just how far is she willing to go to bring her back?

(GIRL 3 GIGGLES)

No! There’s no way…

GIRL 1: I’m so jealous! Yeah.

GIRL 3: …she posted that.

GIRL 1: She’d be so embarrassed.

Hey, are you guys going to the city?

Yeah.

You meeting some friends there?

GIRL 1: Yeah.

BOY: Piper!

You were supposed to wait for me.

I don’t know who this is.

(BOY SIGHS) Such a pedophile.

I’m not… What the…

I’m her brother.

Uh, stepbrother.

Um, Kimmy.

Let’s go.

KIMMY: Oh, thank God.

BOY: Okay.

Come on.

(GIRLS GIGGLING) They didn’t like me, did they?

(MOCKINGLY) “Are you guys going to the city?”

BOY: No, no, they liked you.

No, they didn’t.

No, they did, they did.

There was three of them and they all had sort of dark hair.

And they were nice.

(BUS ENGINE STARTS)

They didn’t dress very well, though.

Where’s your cane, Piper?

It’s in my bag. Shut up.

All right. Jeez.

You ask me all the time!

Okay!

How was goal ball?

Uh, we lost.

(MUSIC PLAYING OVER CAR SPEAKERS)

(SIGHS SOFTLY)

PIPER: Andy!

Hmm?

Andy!

Yeah?

Andy!

What?

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

ANDY: Dad?

(PANTING)

ANDY: Dad?

Dad, can you answer me, please!

(PIPER PANTING)

Andy!

Here, here, here, here, here.

Dad, I’m gonna come in, okay?

PIPER: He always answers.

ANDY: Uh, okay, we’re coming in, Dad.

(WATER DRIPS)

POLICE OFFICER: Yeah.

Now, take a breath.

PIPER: He’d just finished chemo. He was…

He was supposed to be better.

OFFICER: Okay.

And, Piper, did your brother try to help you?

No?

(GULPS) PIPER: He didn’t want me in there.

OFFICER: Okay.

PIPER: He told me Dad would be okay.

OFFICER: Okay, that’s okay.

(STRETCHER RATTLES) That’s okay. You’ve been so brave, Piper.

MAN: Lift it up a little bit. Just…

(SIGHS WEARILY)

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

WOMAN: Hmm.

It says here you’re partially sighted. Is that right, Piper?

I can… I can only see shapes and light. That’s about it.

I’ve talked to an amazing foster mum called Laura. You’re gonna love her.

And, Andy, we’re gonna put you in your own supervised unit.

What?

Wait, hold on, you’re splitting us up?

ANDY: But I look after her.

You can apply for guardianship when you’re 18.

Okay, II really don’t want her to move in with a stranger.

She needs me.

PIPER: Why can’t he just come with me?

Laura’s had issues with troubled kids in the past, and…

PIPER: What?

Nothing.

Grapefruit.

I got into trouble when I was younger.

But it was ages ago.

I was, like, eight.

Can you, um…

(GULPS, SIGHS SOFTLY)

Can you talk to her and just tell her that we are not splitting up?

If she agrees, can you behave yourself for three months?

Oi.

(SIGHS)

You hear that?

(PLANE FLIES OVERHEAD)

That’s Dad going to heaven.

Shut up.

No, seriously though, that’s…

That’s what happens.

You don’t get burned or buried, you just…

(INHALES)

Catch a plane.

(PIPER CHUCKLES)

You don’t have to make everything nice for me, you know.

Yeah, I know.

The room still smells like him.

Oh, Pipe.

(ANDY EXHALES DEEPLY)

You could take some of his clothes.

They’re washed.

Don’t smell like him.

His pillow, then.

That’s not been washed yet.

(PLEASANT MUSIC PLAYING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Oh, shut up, Piper.

(PIPER LAUGHS)

(ANDY SIGHS)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE)

PIPER: Smells like Mum’s garden used to.

We’re not here for long, Pipe.

Yeah?

I think so. I’d love that.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Aah!

Hey, that’s great.

That’s lovely.

Look at that. (LAUGHS) Oh, someone…

Oh, who’s Pompom?

That’s my dog.

Yeah.

(PIPER CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Come here.

He’s a bit shy.

(BARKS, LAUGHS) He’s stuffed, Pipe.

Yeah, no, he’s dead.

I know I’m a weirdo.

(LAUGHS) Row-row, Piper! Row-row, Andy!

PIPER: Hi, Pompom.

LAURA: There’s a house cat around here somewhere.

Junkman.

Haven’t stuffed him. Yet.

But I will do.

(CHUCKLES) Where’s your cane, love?

Oh, I don’t like using it.

Oh, how come?

Uh, don’t want people treating me different.

LAURA: How do they treat you different?

People start to baby me, so…

Oh, yeah, no.

People can be judgmental.

But you know what my nan used to say?

“Fuck off, you fat fucking fuckers.”

(LAURA WHEEZES)

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

She did!

She was always swearing. I never swear.

I loved her.

Is this for Piper?

Oh, no.

My daughter’s blind.

ANDY: Oh, is she here?

No, she’s passed.

Sorry.

No, it’s all right.

You didn’t know.

It’s not your fault.

How’d she die?

Piper!

She’s okay.

She drowned.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Oh, who’s calling?

Oh, it’s Wendy.

She is so needy.

Hello, Wendy?

The kids get in?

Yeah, no, they just arrived.

You know the drill.

Yeah, no, all good. Yep.

Make yourselves at home. Wendy says hi.

Hi, Wendy.

Yeah?

(ANDY SNIFFLES)

LAURA: Okay.

Does she have a backyard?

It’s a bit inconvenient.

She does have a backyard.

Don’t worry.

Do you wanna see it?

That’s all right.

Oh, bloody hell.

(MEOWS)

Oh, if you’re going outside, don’t let the cat out.

Oh, fuck.

LAURA: Yep.

(INHALES) Yeah.

It’s your new sister and brother, Oliver.

Piper and Anthony.

Andy.

Handy Andy. (CHUCKLES) Oliver lost his family, just like you guys.

Needed someone that could give him special care.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

You’re done, darling.

Oliver?

Oliver.

Yep, quick as you can, darling.

Good lad.

Here you are.

Oliver’s been mute, selectively mute since we lost Cathy.

So we try not to overwhelm him.

Isn’t that right, darling?

Taking one step at a time, aren’t we, hmm?

Okay, you’re done.

It’s your turn.

Quite tall, aren’t you?

What’s he look like, Andy?

Oh, he’s cute.

He’s smiling at you.

(CHUCKLES)

What color’s his hair?

Red.

Yeah, and curly too.

He’s a beautiful boy.

(THUDS)

(SIGHS)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

There we go.

Good girl. And there’s a wall on your right.

And straight down to your bedroom.

Just watch out for this step, Pipe.

LAURA: Yep, old news, Andy.

ANDY: Okay.

Straight ahead, love.

There you are.

It’s Cathy’s room.

You okay, Pipe?

PIPER: Yeah, I’m okay.

Grapefruit.

I’m all good, Andy.

Yep, sorry, uh, your room’s in there.

It’s just up there.

Okay.

Okay, great.

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

(WHISPERS) Fuck.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Not much of a room.

Oh, no, no, it’s fine.

Wendy tells me you’re applying for guardianship. That right?

Yes, yeah, in, uh, three months.

When I’m 18.

I’m supposed to report how safe and reliable you are.

So stay safe.

Stay reliable, yeah?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(SOFTLY) Yes.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Oh, girlfriend?

Oh, no.

Boyfriend?

Just a friend.

So what are you talking about?

Nothing. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Your dad?

No.

(WHISPERS) Hey.

(IN NORMAL VOICE)

Hey, I’m a counselor.

People pay to talk to me, you know.

Oh. That… That’s cool.

So you don’t have to be so defensive, Andy.

Am I… Am I being defensive?

Oh, come on, look at you.

Arms crossed.

Clutching onto your phone to tell me you want me to go.

(CHUCKLES) PIPER: Hey, I think I can hear you guys.

(KNOCKS ON WALL)

Can you hear me?

(SHOUTING) Yeah! Yeah, um…

Yeah, yeah, you okay?

PIPER: Yep!

You need anything?

PIPER: Yeah, uh, a better brother?

Okay.

Hey.

Laura! Get off my phone!

What are you doing?

(OBJECT CLATTERS)

(GASPING) Sorry.

I’m so sorry.

No, I’m… Uh, I’m sorry.

No, you’re all right. It’s my bad.

I just don’t like people going through my stuff.

Absolutely, it’s just you had a message.

I didn’t mean to yell.

Cool.

So Oliver’s a fucking weirdo, is he?

No.

Oh.

Okay? It’s the last time you’ll be able to look at him.

PIPER: You didn’t look at him?

You said he looked good.

Pipe.

I said, “Grapefruit.”

I didn’t want to see him like that, Pipe.

LAURA: It’s better than how you saw him last.

Look, some people believe the spirit stays in the body for months after death.

If that’s true, then he’s still in there.

Seriously, a funeral isn’t supposed to be all misery.

It’s supposed to be a celebration.

Let’s have some fun, huh?

Piper, what do you do for fun, eh?

Kick Andy in the balls.

(LAUGHS WHIMSICALLY)

Yes!

You’ve got to pick a number between one and ten.

Yep.

You got one?

Seven.

Well, no, you’re not meant to say it out loud yet.

LAURA: Oh!

Yeah, keep it in your head.

Now, on the count of three, you do say it out loud… and then if I guess your number, you have to drink.

Got it.

Piper, hit us with the countdown.

Mmhm. Three, two, one.

BOTH: Seven.

(LAUGHS)

Why’d you say it again?

Bloody cheater!

Oh, calm down, muscles, it’s just one drink.

One little drink.

All right, but you’re not going to like it, Piper, I’m telling you.

We’ll see.

Do you like it? Yeah?

(COUGHS)

Oh, it’s good, right?

Thank you for today, Laura.

It’s okay, Andy.

I’ve been through it.

Don’t you want to talk about him?

Yeah, but it’s…

I don’t know, it’s hard.

Well…

we don’t have to look at each other.

(CHAIRS CREAKING)

Yeah, you can…

ask me something.

(ANDY SIGHS)

You can ask me anything.

How did you, um…

How did you cope…

with Cathy being gone?

Oh.

I didn’t.

When we buried her, I, um…

I didn’t want to leave…

’cause it felt like I was abandoning her.

You know?

Mmm.

How could I go home without my daughter?

(SHUDDERS SOFTLY)

How could I sleep in a bed when she was in the ground?

I used to stay at the cemetery for days…

just so I could feel close to her.

ANDY: Yeah.

(SIGHS)

I’d give anything to hear her call me Mum one more time.

Just one more time.

That’s all.

You know, we’d only, uh…

we’d only ever talk if it was about Piper.

LAURA: Because she was the favorite, huh?

(ANDY CHUCKLES)

Yeah, how could she not be?

Is that why you hit her?

Who told you that?

Oh.

Wendy.

Were you jealous of her?

(SIGHS) When my…

When my dad…

married her mum…

(EXHALES)

…it felt like he finally found the family…

he actually wanted.

I used to get in trouble at school just so that he’d notice me and he… he hated me for it.

(SIGHS)

He’d turn on the shower so Piper couldn’t hear and he’d…

He used to hit me so hard…

I’d wake up and…

I wouldn’t even know where I was.

(BREATH TREMBLING)

That’s awful, Andy.

You have a concussion.

You just need to rest.

It’s okay.

Yeah?

(SIGHS WEARILY) Shh. Shh.

(SMACKS LIPS)

Oh.

Brought you a present.

Piper got you this.

Your body spray.

You can’t let her out, Laura.

What’s that, love?

You can’t let Piper out, not while it’s raining.

Something could happen.

Like what?

I saw my dad in the shower.

(SIGHS) He said something.

(EXHALES)

What’d he say?

Andy?

He said, “She’ll die in the rain.”

You don’t think it’s ’cause your dad died in the shower when I killed him?

What?

Your dad died in the shower.

What…

You’re associating rain with that.

(SCOFFS)

What is happening to me?

Hey, don’t worry.

I’ll keep her inside.

I’ll keep her inside, I promise.

Oh!

You like it?

Uh-huh. Thanks, Laura.

Hey, you can call me Mum, if you like.

Um, maybe.

Hey.

She always used to… wear her hair back like this.

She didn’t want her hair sticking to her face or getting in her mouth.

There you are.

Hey, you like living here with me?

PIPER: Yeah.

Yeah, you’re really nice.

You think you like it enough that when Andy turns 18 you maybe want to stay?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Stay here when Andy goes?

Yeah.

I was… I was looking forward to getting our own place.

But we’d still visit you on weekends.

(WHISPERS) Okay.

What is that?

Oh, my God, what is it?

Just meat.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

Someone hit me.

You hit her?

Don’t be ridiculous.

So Ollie hit her?

I put her to bed and then you went into her room.

Didn’t you?

Huh?

(SCOFFS) You can’t even remember.

Piper.

Who did this?

I don’t know.

But I smelt you.

You’re abusive, Andy.

Just like your dad.

He hit you, so you hit her.

What do you mean, Dad hit him?

Yeah, he abused Andy. That’s why he didn’t save him.

ANDY: That’s not true.

He hit you?

No, he didn’t.

I’ve tried to help you, Andy, but I can’t.

You’ve butchered Oliver’s mouth.

You’ve been seeing your dead dad.

I hate to think what you’ve done with Junkman.

Stop, Laura.

You’re the only one strong enough to leave that kind of mark.

Laura, stop.

You take those steroids or hormones or whatever.

It’s creatine.

Well, your testosterone is out of control!

Laura, you’d better fucking stop right now.

Or what? You’re gonna hit me too?

PIPER: Please guys, enough.

LAURA: Andy?

ANDY: The fuck happened to Ollie?

The fuck happened to him?

Andy.

Andy, no.

No, no. Andy, look at me.

She’s hurt, Andy!

She’s not fucking hurt!

Come on, we’re leaving now.

I’m not gonna let you hurt her again.

I have to protect her.

Oh, what, like you protected Cathy?

Grab your bag.

I don’t really feel like playing.

Oh, it’ll be good to let off some steam.

Come on. Here’s your bag.

That’s it.

I could be a few hours, darling.

Call the cops.

Laura told me…

you hit your sister and attacked her.

Oh, she’s fucking lying!

She’s full of shit, Wendy, I swear.

You’ve been wetting the bed?

Oh!

Would you say your grief over Dad is getting better or worse?

It’s not about my fucking Dad!

Laura kidnapped a fucking child.

I mean, did you do any fucking checks on her before you sent us there?

How do you even know who the fuck she is?

‘Cause she worked here for nearly 20 years.

She was the best counselor we had.

And believe me, love, she would never hurt a child.

But only when you were asleep, or when you weren’t home.

(RUMBLING)

(PIPER BREATHES)

(ANDY SIGHS)

You couldn’t see how much he hated me. And I lied because…  because I didn’t want you to know how ugly the world was.

And when I was eight… uh, I hit you.

(ANDY INHALES)

And I regret it more than anything, Pipe.

I’d never do it again.

(FLY BUZZING)

But I just need you to understand that that bruise on your face right now, that wasn’t… wasn’t me. It was her. She’s bad, Pipe.

She’s hateful.

And just like Dad, she’s not gonna let you see it.

I didn’t tell you then but I’m telling you now, Pipe. There’s something wrong with Laura. She kidnapped Oliver, and you’re in danger. You’re probably not fucking listening to this, but…

I told her she could have it any way she wanted, but she loves this.

I just hope he gets better, you know.
