Set in a 1950s Washington, D.C. boarding house, this captivating historical mystery follows a group of female residents whose lives are transformed by a mysterious new tenant - until a shocking act of violence occurs. It is a powerful story of female friendship, secrets, and the paranoid atmosphere of the McCarthy era.
