Late 60s. Married to Dean Jones. The kind, motherly woman who lives next door. Vada and Dean have called the neighborhood home for over twenty years, making her the person everyone turns to when they want to know the history of the street. Warm, welcoming, and always ready with a fresh pot of coffee, she’s the last person you’d expect to tell a story that sends chills down your spine. What She Knows Years ago, the house next door was the site of a horrific tragedy. The owners’ adult son suffered a severe mental break and murdered both of his parents inside the home. When police arrived, he barricaded himself inside, leading to a tense hours-long standoff. He eventually opened fire on officers before taking his own life. Most people believe that’s where the story ends. Vada knows better….

Early 30s. Tall, handsome, and effortlessly charming with a quick wit that can make anyone laugh. Kind-hearted and dependable, he’s the type of person who never hesitates to lend a helping hand, whether it’s fixing a leaky faucet or helping someone move furniture. He lives directly across the street, his front porch facing yours. A skilled handyman and carpenter, he’s always working on a new project around the neighborhood. Beneath his easygoing smile is a genuinely caring man who looks out for everyone on the block, especially his new neighbor. Lived in the neighborhood for six years, and has heard the story of your new “home.”
