Synopsis
Nikiya, an orphaned woman yearning for a sense of belonging, issues an ultimatum to her fiancé, Luc: either introduce her to his estranged family or risk losing her. Reluctantly, Luc agrees, concealing the dark truth behind his family's past to preserve their relationship. Upon meeting Luc's family, Nikiya is initially enamored by their seemingly idyllic and welcoming demeanor. Their warmth temporarily quenches her longing for family, blinding her to any underlying issues. However, as she settles into their seemingly perfect life, cracks begin to surface, revealing the family's sinister secrets. Nikiya soon uncovers the truth that drove Luc away from his family, realizing that the price of belonging may be more than she bargained for. Caught in a web of deception and danger, Nikiya must act swiftly to protect herself and her unborn child from the menacing reality that threatens their lives.
