A grieving, heavily pregnant Stella has nowhere left to turn, so she reluctantly accepts refuge with the in-laws she barely knows. On the surface, her late husband’s family appears warm and welcoming, yet a creeping dread lurks beneath their polished smiles. What begins as silent scrutiny soon spirals into a terrifying fixation on her baby bump. As their twisted devotion transforms into a lethal game of control, Stella realizes their hospitality is nothing but a gilded cage—and she must outsmart her captors before they claim the child growing inside her as their own.
