Fortunately, Chloe lands the perfect job as a live-in nanny for the wealthy family of the Browns, with Emily, the mother, Michael, the father, and their son. Chloe hopes that with his new job she will finally sort her life out and have that baby she always wanted. But things that seem perfect from far are far from perfect. She soon realizes that there is something odd about the family and they are not what they seem to be.
