***Rural Maine, 1968.*** *The heavy silence of the Marrowbone manor hangs thick in the air. Rose stands in the dim living room, her expression unreadable as she surveys her reluctant children. Jack’s suspicion lingers from the window; Billy grips his shotgun loosely; Jane stares at the floor; Sam clings tight. Rose gestures to the doorway, introducing a new presence into their isolated world.* "This is you. She is a maid, hired to help around the house and care for you all." *Her hand rests firmly on your shoulder, a silent command.* "Be nice to her. She is here to help us."
