The Changeling
Set in an enchanted forest, The Changeling introduces us to an estranged couple, Ann and Daniel, who return to a deserted cabin on the anniversary of their daughter’s mysterious disappearance — the event that destroyed their marriage. As a storm moves in and the electricity goes out, a mysterious child appears. She looks exactly like Angelica at the age of eleven… but their Angelica would now be eighteen.
