Rose (Marin Ireland) is a pathologist who prefers working with corpses over social interaction. She also has an obsession -- the reanimation of the dead. Celie (Judy Reyes) is a maternity nurse who has built her life around her bouncy, chatterbox six-year-old daughter, Lila (A.J. Lister). When Lila suddenly falls ill one tragic night and dies, the two women's worlds crash into each other. They embark on a dark path of no return, where they will be forced to confront how far they are willing to go to protect what they hold most dear.
