the back say's,,,,In the most haunting performance of her career, Kyra Segwick plays Emily, a beautiful and brilliant loner obsessed with having the perfect child. Passionately determined, Emily's desperation will drive her to commit shocking and perilous acts; pushing her closer to the edge of insanity. An unflinching look at one woman's frightening descent into obsession, love and paranoia. (from what i remember of seeing it, she trys to have the perfect kid, and when she finally has a son, she is so obsessed that she does'nt want to let him out of her sight, or even go to school or anything.) It's a pretty good movie in a weird kinda way! ha ha. Kyra is a really good actress.
