In 1902, at an all girl's boarding school in Rhode Island, students Flo and Clara are madly in love with each other, as well as completely obsessed with The Story of Mary MacLane, the scandalous debut memoir by 19 year old MacLane. A copy of this book is found splayed in the woods near the two girls' dead bodies after a horrific yellow jacket attack. Within five years The Brookhants School for Girls is closed. Its buildings left empty. But not before three more people died on the property, each in a troubling way... Over a hundred years later, Brookhants is in the news again when wunderkind writer Merritt Emmons publishes a book on the queer history surrounding the haunted gilded-age boarding school and that book is about to be adapted into a controversial film starring THE Harper Harper-celesbian megastar-as Flo, opposite B-list actress Audrey Wells, as Clara. As the three ambitious young women arrive at Brookhants to begin filming past and present become grimly entangled. Or perhaps just grimly exploited. Soon, it's impossible to tell quite where the curse leaves off and Hollywood begins..."--Provided by publisher. | ||
