Plot

Siblings Abby and Ethan Snow lose their parents in an accident and are adopted by Eve and Raymond Goode, two seemingly-ideal parents who have recently lost a child of their own, David. At first things seem good, but the first oddity manifests when Ethan gets his own room with a bathroom close to the master bedroom and Abby is given a bedroom far away, up in the tower of the house. From here, Abby notices a lot of strange things; there is a bed in the basement with David's name carved into the support post near it and there are many places they cannot enter, including David's old bedroom. They are not allowed to make phone calls either. Eve and Abby get into a fight at the dinner table, and Eve slaps Abby. Later on, Eve asks Abby to wash dishes. As Abby is washing them, she cuts her arm on broken glass that Eve purposely left in the sink for her. Abby demands to be taken to the hospital, but Eve refuses and brings out a box of medical supplies. Raymond reveals that Eve was a nurse, and Eve makes the process as painful as she possibly can, including a shot, and stitches without any anesthetic. Later, Abby is seen sleeping, and Eve injects her with an unknown substance. Abby awakes, too late to do anything, except ask what the liquid is, Eve responds with "This is for pain," Abby replies, that she is not in pain, but Eve states "You will be." Abby falls back asleep, quickly and when she wakes up, Eve tells her that she's been in bed for three days.
