Seasons / Episodes

Three months into parenthood, Ava and Nathan Bartlett are navigating the joys—and exhaustion—of new family life. While Ava strives to balance motherhood with a return to real estate and resist her compelling fascination with true crime, Nathan is focused on rebuilding his tennis coaching career. But when a disturbing wave of murders grips their community, Ava finds herself irresistibly drawn back into the darkness she’s tried to leave behind. Suspicion quickly falls on Matt, and with Tory now romantically involved with him, concerns for her safety escalate. Moments of respite arrive—Ava discovers an unexpected outlet in TikTok and forms a budding friendship with Drew, while Nathan rekindles his tennis ambitions alongside a renewed connection with Matt—until a sudden threat shatters their fragile peace, bringing danger directly to their doorstep.

Description:

A real estate agent, a plumber, and a retired tennis pro’s lives unexpectedly collide. The story unfolds against a backdrop of America's obsession with true crime and everyday mysteries – even things like slow-close toilet seats. Through their shared experiences, the film explores how deeply this fascination is woven into modern American culture. It’s a thought-provoking look at human connection, our societal obsessions, and the surprising ways people find themselves connected.
