Synopsis

In the days following her return from hospital, new mother Kate is rocked by finding her world altered beyond recognition. Her partner Steve is aware of her precarious mental state, but his delight at their newborn makes it hard for them to connect.
Post-natal trauma and hallucinations make the world increasingly hard for Kate to bear. Can anything pull her back to reality - before it’s too late?
