Mellie hasn't been home in over twenty years. Not since her parents and her brother Jacob died under mysterious circumstances. Not since she was left completely alone. But the past isn't gone. It's waiting. Her name appears in confidential files—alongside dozens of missing children. Her family's house holds hidden rooms, medical records, and surveillance equipment she was never meant to find. And someone is slipping inside at night, leaving things behind to remind her she isn't safe.

After losing her husband, Sarah is doing everything she can to hold herself—and her young son Theo—together. When Elena appears, calm, capable, and eager to help, she seems like the answer to Sarah's prayers. Theo adores her, and for the first time in months, Sarah feels like she can finally breathe. But soon, little things start to feel… off. Lullabies Sarah has never sung filling the house. Documents moved. Unfamiliar items appearing in Theo's room. And the way Elena looks at her son—as if he belongs to her.

When Anna and David adopt twelve-year-old Mia, it feels like their family is finally complete. She's polite, intelligent, and eager to please—everything they'd hoped for. But when Mia's behavior toward Anna turns cold and unsettling while remaining perfect for David, cracks begin to show. Small accidents around the house, strange conversations, and moments that don't add up leave Anna questioning her own sanity. As the tension builds, she realizes that bringing Mia into their home wasn't just a mistake—it might destroy their family forever.
