Bailee needs to relax so she brings her boyfriend Tom to her childhood home which is isolated and peaceful. She fears she suffers from the same mental illness her mother did. Her worry intensifies when she starts seeing and hearing things after arriving at the house. Tom is dismissive.
When she can’t find her pills, Tom says he’ll always be there to rescue her and hands her some capsules. Bailee says she takes tablets, but Tom tells her this is her normal medicine. Is Tom gaslighting her or is she losing it?
When Bailee wants to leave because she doesn’t feel safe, Tom says she can leave if she wants, but he needs to stay to write his novel. Well that turned quickly from always being there for her. Also it doesn’t make sense for her to leave him alone at her family home.
When Bailee was a kid, she was friends with the boy next door. But when she decided she would rather play with her doll than him, he jumped off a cliff. His parents blame her for the death. Tom’s lack of support for her trauma is once again on display as his phone buzzes with calls from his ex. Then she shows up at the house. How did she find them? And why is Tom annoyed with Bailee for being upset at this unexpected development?
Most of the characters aren’t likeable and there’s not a lot of Humpty Dumpty in this, which is fine since he’s not that interesting. He’s an old life sized doll that spends most of his time sitting around doing nothing.
