When Monroe tells her he’s raising the baby according to ancient Egyptian child-rearing philosophies, Annie suspects something sinister is happening. She tells her father but he feels she’s exaggerating, so she goes to the police and alerts the media, but Monroe has the corrupt police in his back pocket and the media intimidated. With the baby’s health fading fast, Annie takes matters into her own hands and fights to uncover the terrible secrets Monroe is keeping, and in the process she becomes entrapped in a web of lies, deception and evil that costs her her innocence and may cost her her life.

I would edit them down considerably to something like this:
Seventeen-year-old Annie Rebarchek’s stoked when billionaire Houston Monroe hires her as a nanny for the summer. It's just the kind of job that will look good on her college applications.
But something's not right. Annie thinks the baby looks ill and cries too much, but Monroe is unconcerned. As the baby’s health fades, Annie grows increasingly alarmed, but can she convince anyone to take her word against Monroe's? Or will she become entrapped in the web of lies, deception, and evil that threatens both the innocent child and Annie herself?
