At seventeen, Lenora Hope was at the center of a chilling family massacre in 1929 that left the Maine coast shocked. Though many believe she was responsible for her family’s deaths, the police never proved it, and Lenora has remained silent for decades in her decaying cliffside mansion, Hope’s End.

Now in 1983, home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives to care for the mute, elderly Lenora, who communicates through an old typewriter. One night, Lenora offers to share her story, insisting, “It wasn’t me,” making Kit question the truth about that fateful night. As they delve into the events, Kit uncovers unsettling details about her predecessor’s sudden departure, leading her to suspect that Lenora might be more dangerous than she seems.
