A paranoid psychological thriller that blurs the line between maternal desperation, supernatural threat, and psychological breakdown through an intimate domestic nightmare.

A pregnant woman, who is taking care of her son with development problems, is at her breaking point when a caregiver from the Philippines steps into her life. Diana suspects that she’s using voodoo against her after the quick improvements of her son.
