Suburban Gothic

Raymond Wadsworth returns to his childhood home after a disappointing chapter in business school. As he steps through familiar thresholds, he starts to reflect on the complex dynamics of his family and the unresolved issues that linger within their walls.

Raymond's mother, Eve, a socialite, grapples with a longing for Hector, the rugged foreman on their property. This emotional conflict remains shielded by her polished exterior, revealing the deeper yearnings beneath the facade of her social life.

Donald, Raymond's father, openly displays his prejudices by ostracizing Raymond's openly gay cousin, Freddy. This adds to the family's already complicated dynamics and sets the stage for deeper conflicts within the household.

During his stay, Raymond reconnects with Becca, a former classmate now working at a local bar. Their renewed relationship faces hurdles, particularly from Pope, an old childhood rival who complicates their attempts at happiness.

While overseeing renovations, Hector's crew uncovers skeletal remains of a child buried in a wooden box on the estate. This revelation sends shockwaves through the household, unveiling buried secrets of the past tied to the property.

Following the unsettling discovery, Hector steals a necklace from the remains and disappears without a trace. His sudden vanishing adds a layer of mystery to the situation, leaving Raymond and his family in unease.

Raymond receives a cautionary warning from Alphonse, one of Hector’s workers, advising him against disturbing the grave. This heightens Raymond's concerns and compels him to delve deeper into the family’s dark history.

As Raymond investigates the label 'Longstreet Ranch 1860' found on the coffin, he uncovers chilling historical tragedies connected to his family. He learns of the notorious Bogden brothers, who murdered Ambrose Longstreet and his daughter Hannah, intertwining his family’s past with a tale of horror.

Raymond and Becca visit the Historical Society, where they meet Cornelius and his assistant Virginia. Initially unhelpful, Virginia later aids them in navigating their families’ histories and the unsettling revelations about their legacies.

As Virginia guides Raymond through the reinterment process, they unknowingly awaken the restless spirits of Ambrose and Hannah. During the ritual, an accident causes Becca to drop Hannah’s remains, intensifying the paranormal disturbances around them.

Virginia calls upon her granddaughter Zelda to conduct a séance at the Wadsworth house. This spiritual exploration reveals Ambrose's desire for his daughter Hannah's cherished necklace, deepening the family's connection to their haunted past.

Unbeknownst to Raymond, Donald orders Dr. Carpenter to remove Raymond's medication, which had been suppressing his psychic abilities. This decision unchains a surge of paranormal activity, complicating the already tense situation.

As Raymond and Becca complete the burial of Hannah’s remains, police arrive in response to Donald's frantic call for help. This interference creates chaos, further escalating the already turbulent events surrounding the family.

In the aftermath of the chaos, the family must confront the consequences of their actions. Donald is forced to reckon with the truth about his family's past, leading to a dramatic shift in family dynamics and decisions going forward.

As the dust settles, Raymond and Becca decide to launch 'Edge City Supernatural Detectives'. Their new venture seeks to uncover hidden truths and assist those troubled by the supernatural, marking a hopeful turn in their lives following the family's upheaval.
