It is a dark psychological thriller about journalist Camille Preaker’s return to her hometown, Wind Gap, a place filled with secrets, violence, and repressed emotions. Camille goes there to investigate the murders of two little girls, but soon it becomes clear that her own past is deeply entwined with these crimes.
The narration is dense and oppressive, steeped in the heat of a southern town where every smile hides something. The air feels heavy and sticky with suspicion. Everything unfolds like a dream, slow and suffocating.
