A claustrophobic psychological horror about a pregnant woman trapped with a malevolent, racist mother-in-law whose evil intentions threaten both her unborn child and her sanity.

Everything goes to hell for newly-pregnant Belinda after her mother-in-law moves in. As the diabolical guest tries to get her claws on the child, Belinda must draw the line somewhere.
