Hush

Helen and Jackson are a young couple expecting their first child. When they move into his family's estate in Kentucky to look after the property, Helen hopes to build a happy life with her new husband's family. Instead she finds herself up against his mother, Martha, a wealthy widow whose devotion to her son turns hostile once Helen comes between them. Martha runs the estate and its horse breeding operation, and her resentment of the woman who has taken her place grows into something more dangerous.
