A woman who is eight months? pregnant begins to get communications from her unborn child who wants the mother to set out on a murder spree. The motivation for the revenge killings becomes clearer as the plot unfolds. The child has good reason for wanting certain people dead. A darkly humorous plot combines paranormal aspects with horror and ironic comedy. From the background of the story comes social commentary on the nature of pregnancy and the deep psychological meaning it bears for women -- and for men who can never truly understand what women must endure to give birth.
