Hometown

On a foggy, early morning in a dying American town, a coroner walking her dog happens upon the local drug dealer, hole through his head. Another body on a long list of mysterious unsolved deaths in the tiny town of Ross Corners, N.Y. With her morgue already full, the town relies on trusted sheriff, Ethel Slyvestry-Gordon, to help her close cases by using her Native American instincts and sharp law enforcement skills. These clues point to her estranged cousin, Bee Slyvestry, a former juvenile delinquent. Bee is now the areas only licensed medical marijuana farmer but also, very private, so she won’t easily cooperate. Plus, she takes in the lost souls, the outcasts, the maligned and ostracized of their town into the Sylvestry family’s ancestral Victorian farmhouse, built by the cousin’s great-great-grandmother. These “undesirables” folk return Bee’s kindness with protection and fierce loyalty, not letting just anyone get near their benefactor – even family. However, the Mayor, Martha Peabody, is on Ethel’s ass to make an arrest and look good before the town upcoming 250th birthday celebrations. Martha is a stunning blonde and the area’s first openly gay public official who also happens to be Bee and Ethel’s other first cousin. The town’s birthday is the same day as the cousin’s 33rd birthday, a rare occurrence of three first cousins, all born of sisters and sisters-in-laws on the same day, in the same hospital within the same hour. This distinction has made them local celebrities with Martha savoring the limelight, Ethel tolerating it and Bee shunning it all. Though close as children, the sister-cousins became estranged after Bee went away at sixteen. Ethel tries to stay neutral but it’s unavoidable when she’s stuck between the polar opposites of Bee and Martha. Bee is the keeper of the cousin’s ancestral home, a house that carries deep family secrets that aren’t entirely earth bound. Built on ancient Native-American land, their family’s Gaelic blood and Native spirituality flow through the home, which maintains an ethereal highway that rescues lives – from the past to the present – from inside a locked cupboard under the back staircase. When she was a child, Bee was the only family member to inherit the home’s secret, passed down by the cousins’ grandmother. Now, she and her houseguests (who may not originally be of this time) do their best to keep the portal safe from outside forces. But an old enemy has resurfaced, threatening to destroy the magic of the house – again. Bee’s ex-boyfriend Inchul, descendant and heir of another local Native tribe, has recently been released from jail for attempting to burn the house down years ago and looking to finish the job now. Living her last days, Bee’s grandmother has foreseen this doomsday and warns her the only way to defeat their enemy, is by reuniting the sister-cousins, using their collective energy to fight against Inchul or have the doorway to salvation be destroyed forever.
