Suspense Psychological
Afflicted with a chronic debilitating condition, Suzette
Jensen knew having children would wreak havoc on her
already fragile body. Nevertheless, she brought Hanna
into the world, pleased and proud to start a family with
her husband Alex. Estranged from her own mother, Suzette
is determined to raise her beautiful daughter with the
love, care, and support she was denied. But Hanna proves to be a difficult child. Now seven-
years-old, she has yet to utter a word, despite being
able to read and write. Defiant and anti-social, she
refuses to behave in kindergarten classes, forcing
Suzette to homeschool her. Resentful of her mother’s
rules and attentions, Hanna lashes out in anger, becoming
more aggressive every day. The only time Hanna is truly
happy is when she’s with her father. To Alex, she’s
willful and precocious but otherwise the perfect little
girl, doing what she’s told. Suzette knows her clever and manipulative daughter
doesn’t love her. She can see the hatred and jealousy in
her eyes. And as Hanna’s subtle acts of cruelty threaten
to tear her and Alex apart, Suzette fears her very life
may be in grave danger…
