Plot Synopsis

Successful author and college professor Jacob Kelly and his wife Allison want to have a baby. As a cancer survivor, however, Allison can no longer bear a child of her own. The couple turns a surrogacy center for help and are introduced to Remy, who appears to be the perfect surrogate. Meanwhile, Kate, a young administrative assistant who works at the college with Jacob, has a secret crush on him, and decides she will do anything to bear his child. The depth of her emotional disturbance is revealed when she stalks Remy to a nightclub and murders her, making her death look like an accident. Kate then convinces the Kellys to let her be their surrogate, and begins her secret and twisted plan to have Jacob and his unborn child all to herself. Armed with Jacob's credit-card number, she creates an elaborate fantasy of flowers, lingerie and hotel rendezvous, hoping to break up his marriage. But soon Jacob and Allison are on to her, and the twisted charade is over. Unfortunately, Kate is still carrying their unborn child, and when she threatens to kill the baby, they are faced with the horrible dilemma of going along with her dangerous fantasies. The decision they make soon plunges their lives into a nightmare of betrayal, revenge, and murder.
