The wife is pregnant again, and their isolation only deepens the husband’s growing sense of dread and hopelessness. Haunted by the fear of another tragedy, he wrestles with his darkest instincts as the line between love and madness blurs. But when an unexpected decision pulls him back from the edge, the arrival of their child brings consequences far more disturbing than he could have ever imagined.
