The film centers on a young American woman (Cohan) who, looking to escape a troubled past, takes a job in a small English village as a nanny for a wealthy couple’s (Norton and Hardcastle) 8-year-old son while they take a vacation. But she soon finds that things are very off with this couple, who are much older than she expected. Their real son had recently passed away, so she's put in charge of caring for a lifelike porcelain doll that the couple treats as a real child. She enlists the only person she's seen in the remote manor's town -- a local grocery delivery man -- to help her unravel the dark mystery surrounding the couple.
Robson is playing a Cole, Cohan's character's boyfriend, while Russell plays a character named James. Evans will play the grocery delivery man.
