Camille Deming has built her online brand around the perfect tradwife lifestyle. She posts photos from her pristine farmhouse, shares homesteading tips, and presents her marriage to Graham as blissful. But her follower count stagnates and her relationship crumbles because she lacks the one thing every tradwife influencer needs: a baby. When Camille finds an ancient well hidden in the wheat field behind her house, she makes a desperate wish. Something answers. A strange creature visits her one night, and suddenly Camille is pregnant. Her announcement breaks engagement records. Her life seems perfect again, even if Graham seems distant. She ignores the warning signs: her unnaturally fast pregnancy, her sudden hunger for raw meat, the creature's true nature. Camille will do anything to maintain her image and keep her followers happy, even if it means carrying something monstrous.
