In a suspenseful thriller that combines The Push and The Silent Patient, a lady is certain that a nefarious person is going to tremendous measures to prevent her from becoming pregnant, but the men in her life don't believe a word she says. Anna Alcott longs to start a family. But as she struggles to reconcile her arduous IVF process with her more prominent existence as an independent actor, she begins to worry that someone is doing everything possible to prevent that from ever happening. Important medications go missing. The schedule is changed without her awareness. She runs from shadows after receiving cryptic warnings. Even her spouse is unable to accept that someone is manipulating her despite all she has gone through to bring about this pregnancy. Then her doctor informs her that she has miscarried; yet, despite what the somber men surrounding her assert, Anna is confident she is still pregnant. She is aware of the baby's movement inside of her and the toll it is having on her ailing body. As someone chases her through the desolate ghost town of the winter Hamptons, vague hints become more explicit threats. Anna can't help but wonder what precisely she's carrying inside of her and why no one will listen when she claims something is dreadfully, excruciatingly wrong as her symptoms and feeling of danger become ever more terrifying.
