Overview
Lila’s life finally feels complete when she starts a dream job with her close friend Robin, falls into a promising romance with Mark, and discovers she’s pregnant. But everything shifts when Julia, Mark’s ex-wife, reappears the moment she learns about the baby. At first, Julia’s involvement seems harmless, even polite, until she begins showing up uninvited, inserting herself into every corner of Lila’s new life. As Julia’s presence grows more intrusive and her intentions more unsettling, Lila realizes she may be fighting to protect far more than just her future. Soon, what began as a perfect new chapter becomes a tense battle of boundaries, obsession, and survival.
