Mallory begins to wonder if these are glimpses of a long-unsolved murder, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force.

Then, Teddy’s artwork becomes increasingly sinister, and his stick figures quickly evolve into lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. She has her own living space, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves.

She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy. Mallory Quinn is fresh out of rehab when she takes a job as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell.
