In 1986, two siblings, Emma and Ethan Lovejoy, moved to a small and quiet American suburban town where they lived in a house across from a seemingly strange male neighbor. After a missing child case that went wild in their town, they were sure that their neighbor was the perpetrator, compelling them to investigate their neighbor in secret. Their investigation revealed many mysteries, leading to the belief that the neighbor was a serial killer. Invoked by their curiosity of each other, the three of them took part in a cat-and-mouse game until finally it was revealed that the missing child case wasn’t that simple, and the neighbor was hiding a more twisted dark desire the entire time.
