Spoilers ahead
Carmilla arrives in a quiet corner of South Carolina, chasing a rumor about a woman named Millarca and armed with nothing but a street address. The only lead she has is a single clue, and when she reaches the shuttered house, the owner, Troy, bluntly tells her that no one by that name has ever lived there. He offers a ride into town, and later, by chance, Carmilla finds herself at a local restaurant where Troy’s daughter, Laura, works. Laura’s curiosity about the mystery is infectious, and she presses Carmilla for more details. In a moment of candor, Carmilla confesses that Millarca is her mother—a mother she never really knew. The revelation unsettles Carmilla more than she expects, and she pulls away, irritated by Laura’s probing questions.
