When Carrie buys a secondhand pram for her eagerly awaited grandchild, she becomes trapped in a horrifying nightmare world terrorised by her own aborted baby...
Already worried that only she can see the phantom baby in the pram, Carrie is appalled when her granddaughter is placed beside it and the two merge. Unsure if she has imagined this ... she tells no one.
And so her nightmare begins . . .
She is shocked when the phantom converses with her in her mind ... especially when it claims to be her own aborted child. Horrified, torn between a mix of love and revulsion for her grandchild and terror of the intimidating invading spirit, Carrie doesn't know what to do.
Then she begins to see ghosts and is convinced that she is losing her mind when her bizarre experiences escalate.
Carrie's fear increases tenfold when the baby's childish overtures of friendship change to accusations ... and it soon becomes clear that it is seeking revenge ... and it has an adult mind.
The mind-to-mind conversations become menacing and she panics and sometimes answers the baby aloud, which causes misunderstandings with her daughter.
Carrie dreads that her grandchild will never outgrow this weirdness which is becoming terrifyingly entrenched, so when her long-ago lover's unexpected return to her life coincides with vindictive blasts of pain in her head, she can't resist asking for his advice.He is intrigued by Carrie's heavily censored story and, too late, she realises that she has made a mistake.
He also has a genetic link to the malevolent baby.
She must keep them apart because neither knows he is the father.
