False Positive

Lucy Martin and her husband Adrian, after two years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive, decide to visit Dr. John Hindle, a renowned fertility specialist. This marks the beginning of their journey into the world of fertility treatments and sets the stage for the challenges they are about to face.

After undergoing a procedure developed by Dr. Hindle, Lucy discovers during an ultrasound that she is pregnant with triplets, consisting of two boys and a girl. This moment brings both excitement and anxiety as the couple contemplates the implications of their unexpected pregnancy.

Dr. Hindle recommends a selective reduction, urging Lucy and Adrian to terminate either the twin boys or the girl to ensure a safer pregnancy. Faced with this difficult decision, the couple deliberates and ultimately decides to keep the female fetus.

In search of camaraderie and understanding, Lucy attends a support group for expectant mothers. Here, she meets Corgan, who has also turned to IVF, and together they explore their fears and experiences in this new chapter of their lives.

Lucy becomes fascinated by Grace Singleton, a spiritual midwife with a holistic approach to childbirth, after discovering her online. This newfound interest offers Lucy an alternative perspective on her impending birth, enriching her understanding of motherhood.

During the selective reduction procedure, Lucy loses consciousness and overhears a troubling conversation between Adrian and Dr. Hindle upon regaining awareness. This incident leaves her feeling uneasy and concerned about the motivations of those around her.

Lucy’s relationship with Dr. Hindle becomes increasingly strained after Adrian presents Hindle with an award. Her feelings of suspicion grow, leading her to question Hindle's true intentions regarding her unborn children.

While searching through Adrian's office, Lucy uncovers a safe and confides in Corgan about her concerns regarding Hindle's potential ulterior motives. This discovery propels her further into a state of unease about her husband's loyalty and the safety of her children.

During a baby shower, Lucy finds it unsettling that Corgan seems to know more about her situation than she has shared. The confrontation reveals Corgan's connections to Hindle and raises suspicions about how much of her personal information has been exposed.

As Lucy's due date approaches, she experiences intense contractions and makes the choice to seek assistance from Grace. However, she quickly learns that her reality is about to shift dramatically as she navigates the complexities of her impending labor.

Despite Lucy's instincts urging her to see Grace, the pressure from Adrian leads them back to Hindle, where she ultimately gives birth to the twins. The stressful journey of labor emphasizes the fractured trust between Lucy and Adrian in dire circumstances.

Determined to confront the truth, Lucy arrives at Dr. Hindle's clinic, only to uncover horrifying evidence of his manipulations. Realizing he used his own sperm for Lucy's insemination, she is engulfed by anger and betrayal.

In a desperate act of defiance, Lucy confronts both Hindle and a nurse named Dawn, resulting in a violent struggle. Her fight leads to a significant decision as she destroys Hindle's sperm vials, symbolizing her rejection of his control.

Back home, Lucy experiences a surreal moment as she hallucinates breastfeeding the female fetus, reflecting her deep-seated fears and desires. This moment distills her emotional turmoil, intertwined with themes of motherhood and loss.

When Adrian arrives home to discuss his involvement with Hindle, Lucy, overwhelmed with accusations and despair, demands he leave with the twins. This confrontation signifies the crumbling of their relationship, highlighting the profound mistrust that has developed.
