Moya Fenwick

A woman tries to protect her family from supernatural forces who are trying to take control.

Sweeney is a playwright on a career decline. He spends much of his time wheedling money and beer out of his artistic friend Moriarty. One of his few highlights is weekly sex with his ex-wife Georgia. She is remarried to a rich but vile construction developer, but Sweeney and Gorgina are still in love.

The film is an adaptation of a play written by the celebrated Canadian author and playwright W.O. Mitchell. It follows the lives of three very different women who have recently been released from a mental institution named Beulah. They move into a psychiatric halfway house together and struggle to maintain their independence while managing their personal conflicts and keeping their authoritarian psychiatrist, Dr. Anders, at bay.
