WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

After her boyfriend Ben (Holroft) is suddenly killed in an accident, psychologically fragile mother-to-be Charlotte (Lawrence) finds herself taken in by Ben’s overbearing mother Margaret (Shaw) and his controlling stepbrother Thomas (Lowden), who claim to be caring for her at least until the baby arrives. However, as Charlotte is plagued by hallucinations, she begins to doubt the intentions of her carers, and seeks to find a way to be rid of them once and for all before they can interfere with her child’s future…
