Description

In 1956 Malibu, California, Paradise Circle may seem idyllic, but appearances are deceiving.

Hollywood actress Melanie Cole’s life has come to a halt. With her name now on Hollywood’s infamous blacklist, Melanie’s friendships and opportunities have grown scarce, leaving her isolated and uncertain of her future. Her only consistent connection has been her reclusive neighbor, Elwood, a once-prominent screenwriter who suffers from agoraphobia, keeping their conversations limited to brief exchanges through open windows. Melanie’s housekeeper, Eva, an immigrant struggling to escape the traumatic memories of war-torn Europe, rarely speaks of her own secrets or engages in conversation.

Their quiet lives take an unsettling turn when one early morning Melanie and Eva catch sight of Elwood’s caretaker and sister-in-law, June, mysteriously digging in his cherished rose garden. Afterward, Elwood vanishes, prompting troubling suspicions: how could someone who never sets foot outside his home suddenly disappear without a trace?

As Melanie, Eva, and June search for answers about Elwood’s fate, long-hidden secrets among the three women slowly begin to surface. Unexpected revelations force them to form an uncertain alliance—each determined to protect what little they can still call their own. But trust is fragile, and the smallest spark could unravel everything, threatening to destroy the delicate balance they desperately try to maintain.
