Courteney Cox plays against type in this psychological horror-comedy series, playing Pat Phelps, a former wild-child who found fame and fortune writing saucy novels. Life imitates art when she has a sordid affair, so she and husband Terry (Greg Kinnear) cash in their life savings and move from the city to a small country town for a last-ditch fresh start. That they manage to buy their new house for just a fraction of the asking price should raise red flags, and indeed it transpires that their home was the site of various terrible events over the years.
