A psychological horror-thriller about postpartum descent into paranoia and fractured reality, where a vulnerable new mother's grip on sanity unravels amid isolation and supernatural dread.

Laura's expecting. Her husband, Steven's a loving guy but has little time for her. Her mom lives thousands of miles away. Forced to give up on her dreams, she's always been a bit edgy. A C-section drives her over the edge, making her see things in a different light. A creepy babysitter doesn't make things any better. She begins seeing things, trusts no one, as she goes into self-destruct mode.
