Sweetie Fleetwood is the wife of Jeff Fleetwood and the mother of their four ill and disabled children. Her entire life is devoted to caring for her children, which severely damages her mental health. One day, she decides that if she does not deviate from routine at least once, she will die. This leads her to leave the house and walk through a blizzard without a coat, only hazily aware of her surroundings. Seneca sees Sweetie and follows her to the Convent, where the women welcome both of them. When Jeff arrives to bring Sweetie home, she claims that the Convent women “snatched” her away from her children.
