Plot: Dahlia and her young daughter Cecilia move into a creepy and broken down one bedroom apartment in an equally creepy and broken down building. There is an unsightly dark and dirty water spot above them in the bedroom, on the ceiling. The spot increasingly grows worse with each passing day. The superintendent, Mr. Veeck, reluctantly agrees to fix the leak and repair the ceiling. He is a unusual character with his own brand of creepiness and secrets. Since moving in to the apartment, Cecilia has developed a imaginary friend that she insists is real. Her new friend, Natasha causes her problems at her new school where Cecilia isn't interested in playing or making other friends with real children. Natasha also tells Cecilia things about Dahlia's mother, who abandoned her as a child. When Cecilia shares the information with her mother, Dahlia is disturbed by how her child could possibly know such things. Dahlia is losing time, experiencing migraines and thinks she may be losing her grip on reality. Meanwhile, her husband to whom she is separated from is determined to drag her through a bitter custody battle. Furthermore, Dahlia is convinced that he is paying a group of young boys to harass her and make her seem crazy.
Alternative Plot: Dahlia (Jennifer Connelly) wants to move away from her ex-husband, Kyle (Dougray Scott), and take her daughter, Ceci (Ariel Gade), with her.

Now having nightmares about the dripping, Dahlia is driven to confront the problem herself.
