Isabel's mother died peacefully. At least that's what Isabel likes to think since no one in her family will talk about the truth. But in spite of their avoidance, in spite of their brave faces, the truth has a way of revealing itself at night, in her family's behavior. Her father sleeps curled up on the floor right where Mama's body was found. Olivia wets her bed and wakes repeatedly from nightmares, and Frank has started carving his anger into his bedroom wall. It's up to Isabel to help her family get beyond the pain and loss―to be the keeper of the night. But who will help Isabel?

伊莎贝尔的妈妈去世了。家里很平静，仿佛什么都没发生过。不过，无论大家表现得多么坚强，无论如何避而不谈，真相在夜晚终究会显现出来。她的爸爸整晚蜷缩在发现妈妈尸体的地板上，妹妹奥莉维娅每晚都会尿湿床单，弟弟弗兰克则开始将他的愤怒刻到卧室的墙上。
守护这个家的责任不可避免地落在了十三岁的伊莎贝尔的肩上。可是，谁又来守护她呢？
