Synopsis

14-year-old Felicia can't remember what attacked her in the woods--she's only certain that it wasn't human. Nine months later, she gives birth to a shameful horror that her disgusted parents lock in the attic to save the family from shame. But her baby is determined to be reunited with its mother, and nothing will prevent it from escaping the attic once its full power is unleashed.
