PlotFrancesca, a pregnant war widow, travels from Los Angeles to a remote Minnesota mansion to meet her late husband's mother, Mrs. Kinsolving. Upon arrival, Francesca is greeted with icy disdain and cruelty by Mrs. Kinsolving, who insists that Francesca stay at the mansion until her baby is born, despite Francesca's growing desire to leave. She learns that the family harbors dark secrets, including the presence of Mrs. Kinsolving's troubled, mentally unstable son, Kenny. The situation grows increasingly alarming as Francesca realizes that there's more to the Kinsolving family than meets the eye.
As Francesca becomes more entangled in the family's eerie dynamics, she befriends Kathleen, a mute and traumatized cousin who holds key information about the household's sinister history. Francesca's attempts to seek help are thwarted by the isolated location and Mrs. Kinsolving's manipulative control. Tension escalates as Francesca uncovers distressing truths that put her and her unborn child in grave danger. The house's oppressive atmosphere and the escalating threats compel Francesca to find a way to escape before it's too late.
