A domestic thriller about a psychopathic nanny who manipulates and terrorizes a family from within their own home, built on paranoia and escalating psychological torment.

A couple hires a live-in nanny to watch the offspring while they work. At first, everything goes perfectly, but when an unsafe incident means the parents no longer want the nanny around, they find out this nanny is savvy at not being evicted from her live-in situation. So savvy, in fact, that she can make these parents' lives a true nightmare.
