Molly McKay, a profoundly autistic woman in her twenties, has lived in an institution since her parents' death. When the institution closes due to budget cuts, Molly is left in the care of her neurotypical older brother Buck McKay, who reluctantly takes responsibility. Despite their initial struggles to adapt to each other's lifestyles, they begin to bond and form a genuine sibling connection. However, when Buck learns about an experimental medical treatment that could potentially 'cure' Molly, he sees it as a solution to her care needs but also risks disrupting the progress in their relationship.
