Sometimes things are not as they seem, especially in the small town where the Carpenter family lives. Single mother Susan Carpenter (Naomi Watts) works as a waitress in a diner, along with family friend Sheila (Sarah Silverman).
Her young son Peter (Jacob Tremblay) is a cheerful 8-year-old child, and the older one is 11-year-old Henry (Jayden Lieberher) who takes care of everyone and everything in his own way.
A protector of his little brother and a tireless supporter of his often-doubting mother, Henry burns like a comet in his daily life. Susan discovers that next door, where one of Henry's classmates, Christina (Maddie Ziegler), a dangerous secret is hidden. She also learns that Henry has a plan to help. When the rescue plan for Christina takes an unexpected turn, Susan finds herself at the center of events.
