It’s 1982 and Viv wants to move from upstate New York to Manhattan. To help pay for the move, she takes a job as the night clerk at the Sun Down Motel in Fell, New York. Then she disappears. In 2017, Viv’s niece Carly moves to Fell and visits the motel, desperate for answers about her aunt’s life. There, she quickly learns that nothing has changed since 1982, and she soon finds herself ensnared in the same mysteries that claimed her aunt.
Jess, who, in need of a fresh start, asks if she can crash with her half-brother, Ben, who lives in Paris and doesn’t sound thrilled about the arrangement.

The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation and the more questions she has.
