Spoilers ahead
For generations the Parks family lived on a quiet hillside, with Katelyn Parks, Lindy Booth, and her father tending the town’s lighthouse. At ten, Katelyn watched as her mother entered the lighthouse basement; minutes later she was found brutally beaten and dying on the floor. Her father, Christopher Parks, Mike Daly, was arrested and convicted for the killing, and Katelyn was sent to foster care out of town. The tragedy fractured the family: Christopher spirals into madness, ending his days in a mental institution where he later dies. Katelyn never had a chance to speak to her father again, carrying that night like a shadow she can never outrun.
