You love your daughter more than anything. And then she paints your death. This nerve-wracking pageturner explores the terrifying boundaries of a mother’s devotion when a carefully constructed idyll begins to crack.
Nathalie finally has the life she always longed for: a house in the countryside, a devoted husband, and her long-awaited daughter, Ruby. Ruby is quiet, introverted, and slightly delayed in her development, prompting Nathalie to sacrifice her career to shower her with absolute attention. Yet, an unsettling tension brews just under the surface of their perfect family life. Windows and doors are mysteriously left open, neighbors behave oddly, and Nathalie is plagued by recurring nightmares of a knife-wielding doppelganger. The slow-burn suspense hits a fever pitch when six-year-old Ruby draws an ominous picture that accurately depicts her mother's hidden terrors, forcing Nathalie to face an unimaginable truth.
