Lumaki si Sue na si Benedict ang laging nasa paligid ang kaibigan ng kanyang ama na marunong umayos ng sirang pinto, tahimik sa mga handaan, at palaging handang umalalay. Para sa kanya, si Benedict ay “Uncle Ben,” isang pamilyar na presensya sa bawat yugto ng kanyang pagkabata. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang bumalik si Sue mula sa kolehiyo. Hindi na siya ang batang naaalala ni Benedict. Isa na siyang babaeng may sariling paninindigan, may dalang sugat mula sa nakaraang pag-ibig, at may paghahanap sa isang koneksyong tunay. Samantala, si Benedict ay nabubuhay sa tahimik na mga araw—may mga panghihinayang, mga salitang hindi nasabi, at mga relasyong hindi nagtagal. Sa kanilang muling pagkakasalubong, unti-unting nabubuo ang mga sandaling hindi nila inaasahan mga late-night na usapan sa kusina, tahimik na kape, at mga katahimikang masyadong mabigat para balewalain. Dito nagsisimulang mabuo ang damdaming pareho nilang tinatakasan. Nakikita ni Benedict ang mga bagay na hindi niya dapat makita. Si Sue naman ay natutong tingnan si Benedict hindi na bilang “uncle,” kundi bilang isang lalaking maaasahan at kakaiba sa lahat ng kanyang nakilala. Ngunit ang pagitan nila ay hindi lamang edad kundi ang tiwala ng ama ni Sue, ang dangal ng pamilya, at ang bigat ng mata ng lipunan. Habang may nanliligaw kay Sue na aprubado ng lahat at hinihikayat si Benedict sa isang “tamang” relasyon, lalo silang naipit sa linya na ni isa ay hindi kayang tawirin. Hanggang isang gabi, sumabog ang lahat ng pinipigil. Ipaglalaban ba nila ang nararamdaman o susundin ang sinasabi ng lipunan bawal ang kanilang pagmamahalan.
