After the sudden death of her father,
8-year-old Simone shares a secret with her mother Dawn.
She’s convinced her father speaks to her through the
leaves of her favourite tree and he’s come back to
protect them. But the new bond between mother and
daughter is threatened when Dawn starts a relationship
with George, the plumber, called in to remove the tree’s
troublesome roots. As the branches of the tree start to
infiltrate the house, the family is forced to make an
agonising decision. But have they left it too late?
