Imaginary Playmate

Directed by William Fruet and written by Christine Gallagher, the film stars Dina Meyer, Rick Ravanello, Cassandra Sawtell, and Pablo Coffey.

After noticing the tree swing moving on its own, Molly acquires an imaginary friend named Candace, who she insists is real.

This causes friction between Suzanne and Michael as they increasingly disagree about how to manage Molly’s worrying behavior.

As they play, Candace's voice is heard luring Suzanne to fall down the stairs, only to be stopped by Molly.

Suzanne returns to the church graveyard, and asks the priest about the Brewers, and their daughter Candace.

Candace is shown to be buried in an unkempt section of the graveyard where sinners are laid to rest.

Molly tearfully tells Suzanne the baby won't come.

Since the mother died in child birth, she begins to wonder if the baby actually survived, suggesting Candace's death may have been a murder.

She tells Michael she's going to make a call to a specialist who can help Molly, not knowing Candace has taken over.

As Dr. Barrett drives to her destination, she ends up in a car accident while taking a phone call.

Suzanne heads to the attic, where Candace is finally visible as a ghostly presence alongside Molly.

Candace then reveals that she took her baby sister and left her on a church steps so she didn't have to suffer the abuse from her father like she did.

After pushing Michael down the stairs, Candace encourages Molly to jump from the roof to join her own dead mother, as Suzanne doesn’t really love her.

Dora approaches and asks if they've seen her sister, and she is revealed to be the mother of the real estate agent.

Shortly afterwards, the boy sees the swing move as they enter the house, implying Candace is still present.
