The film opens with a woman engulfed in flames, her body consumed by fire as screams fill the background. This eerie scene sets a tone of chaos and destruction that lingers throughout the narrative.

A man, referred to as 'Him,' places a crystal object in his bedroom. This object magically transforms the rundown house into a beautiful, refurbished home, marking a significant change in the setting.

Mother, portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence, appears in bed next to Him, who is absent. She searches for him, revealing her confusion and the emptiness she feels in their relationship as she begins to explore their home.

The tranquility of the home is disrupted by a knock at the door. A stranger, 'Man,' enters, and despite Mother's discomfort, Him welcomes him into their lives, leading to an awkward dynamic in the house.

Mother's unease grows as she observes Man exhibit bizarre behaviors, including violent coughing fits and a disturbing injury on his side. These signs hint at a deeper, more sinister presence within the home.

Man's wife, 'Woman,' arrives soon after, further unsettling Mother. As the new arrivals disrupt the home, Mother feels increasingly left out of Him's life and uncertain about their relationships.

Tensions escalate when Man and Woman's sons arrive, bickering over inheritance. The argument turns deadly, culminating in Oldest Son brutally killing Younger Brother, leading to chaos and bloodshed.

Following the violent confrontation, Mother discovers a persistent blood stain on the floor. Investigating further, she finds blood leaking into the basement, where she uncovers a dark secret related to the house's history.

The arrival of guests for Younger Brother's wake overwhelms Mother. As she struggles with the noise and grief, her agitation builds, leading to a climactic argument with Him that reignites their passion.

After a night of passion, Mother announces she is pregnant, which fills Him with joy and inspires him to begin writing again. This moment of hope contrasts sharply with the chaos surrounding them.

As Mother's pregnancy progresses, Him's fans begin arriving at the house, drawn by his newfound inspiration. What starts as a celebration quickly devolves into disorder as the crowd becomes unruly and destructive.

Mother goes into labor during the chaos and gives birth to a baby boy. In a desperate attempt to protect her son, she pleads with Him to send the fans away, showcasing her maternal instincts amidst turmoil.

After a day of holding her newborn, Mother awakens to find her baby gone. The horrifying reality sets in as Him brings their son to the waiting crowd, who brutally mutilate and consume him.

In a moment of rage and despair, Mother retaliates against the crowd after witnessing the horror they inflicted upon her child. This violent confrontation escalates as Him desperately attempts to protect her.

In a final act of defiance, Mother sets the house ablaze, symbolizing the end of her suffering. The cycle resets, as Him survives unscathed and prepares to begin again, ultimately introducing a new woman into his life.
