Orphan First Kill Plot

After reuniting with their daughter and realizing that this must be traumatic for her, the family arranges a session for her to speak with a child therapist.

The therapist discovers the girl’s unusual behavior- like her occasionally slipping into a Russian accent, expressing skills she never had before, and acting violently- and informs the family which leads them to question the identity of their daughter.

While the mother, Tricia, and her son Gunnar are suspicious about Esther, the father, Richard, believes that his wife is getting paranoid about losing her daughter in the first place and there’s nothing wrong with Esther.

But after discovering the truth about this murderous “woman child”, Tricia decides to protect her family at any cost.
