Rosewood Lane

Sonny Blake, a radio therapist who hosts a call-in program, returns to her childhood street after the death of her alcoholic father, hoping to put a painful chapter behind her. Rosewood Lane looks quiet at first, but the once friendly community is edged with unease. People whisper about a menacing paperboy who seems to inhabit the corners of the block with a chilling, knowing gaze. Sonny dismisses fear as superstition until she meets the boy face to face and realizes there is more to him than neighborhood lore. The encounter unsettles her, hinting at a shared history of violence that might be connected to her father’s death. The calm suburb becomes a pressure cooker as nights grow tense and unpredictable.
