This gripping psychological drama explores the formation and fracture of a family, centered around a woman whose experience of motherhood is far from what she envisioned and everything she feared. Blythe Connor is determined to be the nurturing, comforting mother to her new baby, Violet, that she never had.

However, amidst the exhausting early days of motherhood, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter—she doesn’t behave like most children. Or is it all in Blythe's mind? Her husband, Fox, insists she’s imagining things.

Then their son, Sam, is born, and Blythe finally experiences the joyful connection she always dreamed of with her child. Even Violet seems to adore her little brother. But when their lives are abruptly altered, the devastating fallout forces Blythe to confront the truth.
