A paranoid psychological thriller that traps a new mother in an increasingly nightmarish reality where maternal instinct becomes indistinguishable from delusion.

After welcoming her baby, Ruby, home, the tightly scripted world of lifestyle influencer Jo starts to unravel. As increasingly sinister happenings mount, Jo is plunged into a waking fever dream where everyone is a threat and nothing is what it seems.
