Plot

In the precipice of youthful innocence and adult realities, 17-year-old high-school junior, Shirley Lyner, grapples with thoughts of college while operating an unusual babysitting service. The business, shrouded in secrecy, provides more than just childcare — it offers teenage companions to the fathers of the children they babysit. In a tapestry of flashbacks, we unravel Shirley's journey from a simple babysitter to the puppeteer of this covert operation. The catalyst for change arrives in the form of Michael, a single father whose casual cup of coffee and nocturnal visit to a train yard with Shirley ignite a chain of events that spiral out of control. Ruthless in her business acumen, Shirley's world starts to crumble when unchecked desires lead her clients to whisk the girls away to a secluded mountain cabin, introducing drugs into the mix. The tension escalates when one of the girls attempts to break free and venture into freelancing. The Babysitters unravels a narrative that flirts with the boundaries of tragedy — a perilous dance on the edge of disaster. Is the perfect storm brewing? And in a world where everyone seems to nurture a secret, what will be the cost of truth? The movie offers a compelling exploration of the dark corners of suburban life, leaving viewers to ponder on their own secretive existences.
