Plot summary
At nineteen, Chloe van Heerden comes back to her hometown of Eden Rock, pregnant and unwilling to name the father. She moves into the house of her estranged mother, Ruby, who criticizes her at every turn. After Chloe delivers a boy, Liam, the infant's constant crying and her own guilt leave her exhausted and low. Chloe visits Ruby's psychologist, Dr. Timothy Reed, who calls her intrusive thoughts a mild case of baby blues and gives her pills. The humming of a childhood lullaby and glimpses of a presence near Liam convince her that her son is in danger, and she looks for help from her old friend Adam Hess.
