STRHUJÚCI A NAPÍNAVÝ DEBUT O MLADÝCH MANŽELOCH, KTORÍ ZÚFALO TÚŽIA PO VLASTNOM DIEŤATI, A O ZNEPOKOJUJÚCICH NÁSLEDKOCH TOHO, KEĎ SA ICH SEN KONEČNE SPLNÍ. Chirurg Christopher a zdravotná sestra Hannah sú šťastní manželia, ktorí majú navonok dokonalý život. K úplnému šťastiu im chýba jediné – dieťa. Keď sa v ich nemocnici objaví opustená Janie, Christopher si k nej okamžite vytvorí puto a presvedčí Hannah, aby si ju vzali domov a prijali ju za svoju. Janie však nie je obyčajné dieťa a jej ťažko narušená psychika predstavuje pre nových rodičov oveľa väčšiu výzvu, než čakali. Dievčatko sa na Christophera až fanaticky upne, no jej správanie je čoraz hrozivejšie, pričom všetok svoj neovládateľný hnev smeruje výhradne na Hannah. Tá si k Janie nedokáže nájsť cestu a pod narastajúcim tlakom sa začína psychicky rúcať, zatiaľ čo Christopher si vytrvalo odmieta priznať pravdu o tom, aká Janie v skutočnosti je. Hoci sa Hannah zo všetkých síl snaží udržať rodinu pokope, uvedomuje si, že Janie Christopherom chladnokrvne manipuluje a pokúša sa ho od nej úplne odstrihnúť. Janino správanie čoraz viac ohrozuje ich manželstvo a zároveň sa na povrch začína predierať temná pravda o jej minulosti – pravda, ktorá ich všetkých môže definitívne stiahnuť ku dnu.
