Overall, the trailer maintained a frightening tone that fans of psychological thrillers and horror would certainly love. Along with the trailer, Prime Video also shared the official description on their YouTube channel which read as:

''In this psychological fable of horror, Aisha (Anna Diop), a woman who recently emigrated from Senegal, is hired to care for the daughter of an affluent couple (Michelle Monaghan and Morgan Spector) living in New York City.''

The synopsis further stated:

''Haunted by the absence of the young son she left behind, Aisha hopes her new job will afford her the chance to bring him to the U.S., but becomes increasingly unsettled by the family’s volatile home life. As his arrival approaches, a violent presence begins to invade both her dreams and her reality, threatening the American dream she is painstakingly piecing together.''

Based on the official trailer and synopsis, viewers can look forward to a powerful, character-driven drama that explores the more complicated facets of human life, delving deep into its darkest aspects.
