In 1964, twenty-three-year-old Katy Speed watches the house opposite and wonders why women regularly arrive in a black car to visit its owner, Gloria. Her curiosity becomes urgent when the house burns down and bodies are discovered in the ruins.

Katy’s father is arrested for murder, forcing her to investigate the household and the women who depended on it. Proving his innocence means exposing a secret service offered in a society where women’s choices remain restricted, and identifying a killer prepared to protect that secret with further violence.
