Phillips's speculative thriller, about a paleobotanist frightened for her two children when a masked intruder invades her home, is a suspenseful, surreal parable about the fears and difficult choices involved in raising kids. It'd be too much of a spoiler to reveal much beyond that, but uncanny artifacts, terrorism, a lot of human breast milk, and a super-creepy fish costume are involved.
