Thus, the fresh apples indicate that their reality is free of hardships and suffering. In the end, when they are free of their worries, the apples are fresh, the characters look economically more stable, their house looks almost new, they look happier and it is sunny outside. Even the weather is greyish, depressing, and rainy. Their life is made even harder by Rob and Sammy, two people they don’t want to be associating with. Their house is dilapidated, and the colors on their walls are coming off. The rotten apples, in the beginning, show the immoral and sad state of the characters and their world. In the film, the apple symbolizes morality and suffering. Rob enters the house and shoots him dead. Sammy holds a knife at Mason’s throat, threatening to stab him. She sees that he has grabbed the children upstairs. While standing outside, she peeks inside the house and notices that Sammy isn’t dead. It starts to pour fiercely so she tells the kids to return inside while she is at the door. She grabs the children and runs towards the car to get some food that’s stored in it. As a result, she takes out the screwdriver from his hand so that she can break the wooden ceiling and climb to the second floor. He is unconscious and shows no response, meaning that he’s dead. After Jessica douses the fire, Sammy’s hand is burnt and disfigured. Jessica drizzles some alcohol on his hand and sets it on fire, forcing Sammy to release Lainey. Sammy catches hold of Lainey and threatens to hurt her if Jessica doesn’t release him. Lainey comes downstairs despite Jessica’s screams for her to stay locked inside the room upstairs with her little brother, Mason. She lures Sammy into reaching under the closet door and proceeds to nip his hand to the floor with a screwdriver that Lainey had brought earlier, trapping him next to her.

Jessica is locked in for a full day, unable to escape despite many different attempts. Rob slides in three grams of meth inside, claiming it to be good shit. They nail the door with three wooden boards, even hurting Jessica’s hand that was on the door. When Jessica mentions this, Sammy gets pissed and manipulates Rob into putting Jessica back in the closet. Sammy is a pedophile, so she doesn’t want him near their kids. Jessica is furious at Rob for bringing Sammy. However, right then, Jessica’s ex, Rob (Jake Horowitz), shows up at the house with his friend Sammy (Vincent Gallo).

She goes to get something down from the pantry and gets “shut in.” She asks Lainey to help from outside, but little Lainey is of no help. Jessica has been packing because she plans to leave for Texas the next day as she’s having financial difficulties. But the apples are rotten (this makes for an important symbol that will be explained later). Outside, Lainey picks apples from an apple tree and runs home with them.
