A 35-year-old woman fakes being pregnant to fit in with her friends.

However from ultrasound reading she had before, she knew she was having a girl. Now the hospital is stone-walling her, saying she is just in denial, due to her loss. Now she is trying to fight the system, to find evidence of the apparent mistake by the hospital. Only it wasn't the hospital's mistake. Nurse Rita Donohue is the one who made the switch. She faked a pregnancy to hang on to her roving boyfriend. But she grabbed the wrong baby, her boyfriend wants a son, so now she's faking a second pregnancy, and making plans to get another baby.

In 1984, a woman with a phantom pregnancy is exiled to a remote Catskills inn where she becomes convinced that she is the target of a mysterious woman in the woods who will stop at nothing to be a mother.
