Spoilers ahead
Minnie Bouvèé, owner of the popular bar Dorothy’s and known for defending her friends and customers from danger, begins receiving cryptic, gardenia-scented letters that echo a recurring nightmare she has been having. She confides in her long-time assistant, Irlene / Amos [Varla Jean Merman], and the two share a tense bond as Minnie’s suspicions grow deeper with every new message. The letters seem personal, almost autobiographical in their detail, and the scent of gardenias lingers in the rooms where Minnie feels safest, turning ordinary nights at Dorothy’s into rooms of shadowed dread.
