Synopsis

After an unexpected mental breakdown, Jennifer Branagan regretfully leaves her hometown in Kansas at seven months pregnant. Jennifer fights to regain control of her life while dealing with her anxieties about childbirth, a tense marriage with her husband Luke, and the domineering influence of her own mother Meredith. Jennifer, however, starts to worry that their rented home might be haunted when odd things start happening there. As she tries to figure out what, if anything, is wrong with the house, Jennifer, who is alone in her beliefs, is forced to wonder if she is still sane.
