A claustrophobic, surreal nightmare about suburban entrapment and the corruption of domestic life, where a couple's search for home becomes an inescapable prison.

A young woman and her fiancé are in search of the perfect starter home. After following a mysterious real estate agent to a new housing development, the couple finds themselves trapped in a maze of identical houses and forced to raise an otherworldly child.
