Eva is a young mother who decides to spend a holiday alone with her newborn child on an abandoned farm where once she spent part of her own childhood. Hoping to become the perfect mother, thus following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother, she finds the past starting to play nightmarish tricks on her. Were things not what she had thought them to be? Old traumas come chillingly back to life.
