A mother questions everything she knows about her son when a local woman is found dead.
Valerie has been forgetting things. Her daughter worries about her being on her own in her big Victorian houseāone rumored to be haunted after a tragedy decades earlierāand truth be told, she is a little lonely. With few options, she asks her adult son to move home, but itās not quite the reunion she hoped for. Hudson is taciturn, moody and frequently gone.
The neighbors already hold a grudge against Hudson, and they arenāt happy about his return. When a young woman is found murdered a block away, suspicion falls on him immediately, without a shred of evidence. While Valerie fights to defend her son, she begins to wonder who she really invited into her home.
Itās a horrible thing for a mother to even thinkā¦but is it possible sheās enabled a monster? A monster she is living with, alone?
