Thea je sekretárka v jednom malom vydavateľstve. Jej rodičia zomreli pri autonehode, a ona musela opustiť školu a postarať sa o svoju mladšiu sestru. Lenže sama o sebe si myslí, že je nula, a podľa toho aj žije. Jej šéf ju miesto dobrej práce núti umývať a venčiť svojho psa, a uráža ju, keď príde o štyri minúty neskoro do práce. Jedného dňa má ale Thea dostať padáka, a tak povie, že je tehotná. Ako tehotná nesmie byť zo zamestnania vyhodená. Lenže na tehotenstvo len tak niekto nezabudne, a keď sa to v práci rozkríkne, je nútená niekoľko mesiacov predstierať, že je stále tehotná. Nakoniec si to tak vsugeruje, že tomu aj sama verí. Lenže jedného dňa to praskne, a Thea bude mať čo vysvetľovať.

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

Jane Morgan gives birth to her baby at the hospital. When she wakes up the next morning, the hospital tells her, that her son died at birth. 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.
