A dark psychological thriller about maternal longing and deception, where an impostor's obsessive need for love becomes a weapon of manipulation and violence.

Kate and Joe have longed to be parents and are considering in vitro options... when Danica, a child Kate gave up 17 years ago, appears on Facebook. Danica comes to live with them, but she's not their real child. She's an impostor who will do anything, even kill, to get the mother's love she never had.
