Leanne (Nell Tiger Free), a dour 18-year-old, moves into the Philadelphia home of Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean Turner (Toby Kebbell) as a nanny for "baby Jericho" -- a reborn doll. Following the apparent crib death of the real Jericho at 13 weeks old, Dorothy suffered a psychotic break, and a therapist suggested the doll as a coping method.
Dorothy, who acts as though the doll is real, enthusiastically welcomes Leanne into their home as she returns to her own job. Sean, alone in his grief, is uncomfortable around the devoutly religious Leanne, who also acts as though the doll is real. When Leanne puts the baby down for a "nap," Sean discovers Jericho alive in his crib.
