She makes it her mission to divorce him and not allow Jenny to be around him until he gets his life in order all despite the fact Maggie is disconnected from her daughter. Jeff reminiscing about his earlier times of marriage and fatherhood is in need of re-evaluation of his life.Distraught at the possibility of loosing the divorce case and failing at his career he considers signing on to his wife agreement though on the phone Maggie is distracted by their argument and is fatally run over. Much time later the funeral is disastrous as Jeff's Father-in-Law Paul Rivers makes a scene at the funeral and Jenny has not comprehended her new circumstances. As Jeff gives a thoughtless eulogy, an unwanted portrait he placed lights on fire melting only the painted face of Jeff (this portrait was well hated by Maggie).Through the days spirits lurk the house giving Jeff nightmares, Jenny remains distant from Her dad as Paul prepares to sue Jeff for custody. Jenny reverts to state of depression and acts in a strange manner. In hopes of getting employment Jeff reaches out to an old friend for a smaller job opportunity.

Storyline

Eight-year-old Jenny (Violet McGraw) is constantly caught in the middle of the feuding between her lawyer mother Maggie (Mamie Gummer) and artist father Jeff (Rupert Friend). She leads a lonely but imaginative life, surrounded by puppets called "Grisly Kin," which are based on the works of her father. When Maggie is tragically killed in a hit-and-run, Jeff and Jenny try to piece together a new life. But when Maggie's father (Brian Cox) sues for custody, and babysitter Samantha (Madeline Brewer) tries to be the new woman of the house, life in their Brooklyn town home takes a dark turn. The puppets and frightening characters come to life and Jenny is the only person who can see them. When the motives of the ghoulish creatures become clear, the lives of everyone are put very much in jeopardy.
