Jillian Marsh is a survivor who escaped a toxic upbringing with her religious zealot mother. After battling alcoholism in her twenties, she achieved sobriety, a successful marriage, and a medical career, though she couldn't fully atone for her past mistakes. Nearly a decade later, her life spirals downward when her wife, Rochelle, leaves her while she is pregnant with Rochelle's biological child. Jillian feels increasingly unsettled in her empty home, noticing items out of place, candles lit without her memory, and a removed screen from her bedroom window. Her support group for expectant mothers, once a source of solace, begins to fracture as secrets among the women surface. Jillian, Bree, Camille, and Maggie had pledged to support each other in motherhood, sobriety, and independence, but their sisterhood is tested. As strange occurrences escalate, Jillian questions the trustworthiness of her friends and wonders if Rochelle is gaslighting her for custody of their daughter. She fears she might be mirroring her mother's behavior, imagining threats against her unborn child. When the missing items turn into clear threats, Jillian realizes she must do whatever it takes to protect her baby.
