A murky, talky mystery that drifts through small-town secrets and unreliable desire, more uneasy than thrilling.

How it feels: Dark, tense, melancholic and cynical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Corruption, deception, obsession, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
