Summer, 1989. Sick and tired of a divorce she can't seem to get over, Francine leaves San Francisco to visit her sister in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois: an idyllic slice of Midwest suburbia that looks like the perfect place to relax and recover. But it doesn't take long before strange occurrences in the neighborhood enliven Francine's natural passion for playing detective. The dark mysteries hidden in Hawthorn Woods might just give Francine a path back to being herself, assuming they don't kill her first...
