Synopsis: A woman with a troubled past takes a job in England as a nanny. However, when she arrives, she is surprised to learn that instead of a little human boy, her charge is actually a creepy, porcelain doll.

When strange things begin to happen around the house, Greta realizes maybe there's more to this little doll than just a creepy face.
