Plot
Linda (Rose Byrne) is a therapist stretched to her limits while caring for her daughter, who has a mysterious illness that causes a severe aversion to food. The daughter, whose face is never shown, must be fed through a tube each night, and her demands add to Linda's immense stress. The family's situation takes a turn for the worse when the bedroom ceiling of their Montauk apartment collapses and floods the house. With her largely absent husband Charles (Christian Slater) away on a two-month work trip, Linda is forced to move with her daughter into a shabby motel. The un-repaired hole in the ceiling becomes a physical and metaphorical symbol of Linda's deteriorating mental state.
Charles only calls to complain and criticize her, offering no genuine support. Professionally, Linda is surrounded by clients in crisis, including Caroline (Danielle Macdonald), a new mother who abandons her baby mid-session. Linda seeks help from her own colleague and supervisor (Conan O'Brien). However, he is unsympathetic and increasingly exasperated by her behavior, offering little help as her life falls apart. While living in the motel, Linda meets Diana (Ivy Wolk), a snarky clerk, and her neighbor James (A$AP Rocky), a motel superintendent who becomes an unlikely source of comfort and chaos. James helps her score drugs online and offers emotional support to her daughter, but their relationship is complicated and ultimately strained.
