- A jittery, but beautiful, blonde nurses her tea and takes some pills. Then she runs down a very spinney staircase and screams, "Noooo!" while looking at an empty bloody bed.
Cut to Oliva, who is hooking up with her boyfriend named Ryan. She is a writer who is struggling to pull her life together after a string of bad luck. She gets kicked out of her apartment for being behind on rent by six months, loses her job, and catches Ryan cheating.
Down and out, Olivia makes a post on social media and gets a response from Cassidy. Cassidy tells Olivia about an opportunity in a remote mansion to become a surrogate for a famous actress named Ava.
Olivia meets Ava and her husband, Hayden. Olivia is overwhelmed and signs an NDA. In the middle of the night, a chef named Peter makes Olivia a quick meal. As they are getting to know one another, they hear a crash. Hayden comes in the kitchen and drunkenly hits on Olivia in front of everyone.
The doctor appointments happen, and Olivia is not allowed to contact anyone from outside. Ava has an emotional moment and gifts Olivia a "lucky necklace." Then Ava forces Olivia to take a pregnancy test and freak out on her when she is not pregnant.
The ladies have a liquid lunch and talk about sex. Then Ava does some cocaine at the table. She is blowing off steam because her last three films have been flops. Olivia is concerned and becomes even more so when she catches Hayden shooting heroin in his toes. Then Cassidy and Olivia go to a pharmacy. Speaking of which, Olivia doesn't even know what hormones she is on.
After she receives a positive result on a pregnancy test, Olivia tells a drunk Ava and Hayden the news of her pregnancy. A threesome almost happens. Olivia pumps the breaks and tells Hayden that he could hurt the baby. Olivia tries to tell Cassidy what happens, but the assistant reminds Olivia that she signed an NDA and is under contract.
Pregnancy happens. Ava is more and more controlling over Olivia, down to whether the Chef Peter can use butter when cooking her meals. Olivia bonds with her baby and cries while rubbing her belly. It is sad that she is stuck in this situation. The nights are rough with Ava and Hayden arguing and getting into physical altercations.
The next morning Olivia tells Peter about the baby kicking, and he feels her belly. Hayden also has nice chemistry with a random hookup/potentially a drug dealer?
Olivia steals a car and makes her escape. Ava and Hayden go to the press and states that Olivia kidnapped their baby. A cop finds Olivia and calls the movie star. Ava tips him to let them go quietly. Then Ava gives Olivia a stern talking to and locks her in a guest house.
Cassidy takes Olivia out for some exercise. After a well-acted monologue about everyone being crazy, Olivia pretends to have to pee and tries to escape again. Chef Peter attempts to help her, but Cassidy catches them and chains Olivia to the scary bed we saw at the beginning of the movie. Olivia sings, "Rock-a-bye-baby." !
Ava tells Olivia that Hayden left her, and she is going to terminate the pregnancy. Cassidy helps Olivia escape, and a high-speed car chase happens.
On the side of the road, Ava pulls a gun on Cassidy and Olivia. She shares her villain monologue. Ava is baren and was pumping Olivia full of hormones to harvest her eggs. Olivia grabs the gun and pistol-whips Ava. Then she says, "At least I can have a baby!!!"
A comforting nurse wakes Olivia up in the hospital and introduces her to her baby. The Orphan Olivia finally has someone to love. Chef Peter shows up in the hospital and tells Olivia that he didn't know what was going on in the mansion. Well, he admits some strange things were going on and promises to make things right. Olivia doesn't know how she is going to raise the baby and Chef Peter offers to help her and they plan to move to Portland. (thanks to lifetimeuncorked)
