Spoilers ahead

Cora is stuck in a job she loathes, working at a church for “Dial a Prayer.” As soon as the clock strikes 4:00, she eagerly escapes to her cozy suburban home, where her mother, Mary, grapples with mental health issues, and her father, a busy lawyer, is seldom around.

Despite her disdain for the job, Cora’s situation is far from simple. It’s revealed that her father’s connections allowed her to receive a light sentence after she and a group of wayward individuals were involved in a grave incident at the church. Faced with the grim alternative of jail time, Cora begrudgingly endures her days surrounded by what she derogatorily refers to as “freaks.”
