Eva (Swinton) gives up her beloved freedom and bohemian lifestyle to have a child with her husband, Franklin (Reilly). Pregnancy does not seem to agree with Eva, but what's worse, when she does give birth to a baby boy named Kevin (later played by Miller), she can't seem to bond with him. When Kevin grows from a fussy, demanding toddler into a sociopathic teen, Eva is forced to deal with the aftermath of her son's horrific act.
