Welcome to Witherspoon Falls, Connecticut-a picture-perfect town where the jukebox still croons doo-wop, smartphones don't work, and strangers are noticed the moment they arrive. But behind the charming 1950s fa ade lies something far more sinister.
When three mysterious outsiders roll into town claiming car trouble, they're met with polite smiles, suspicious eyes, and a sheriff who enforces curfew like it's martial law. As the town's bizarre rules and vintage aesthetic begin to raise red flags, the newcomers realize they aren't just off the grid-they're on someone's watchlist.
At the center of the town's heartbeat is Jack, a local dishwasher with secrets of his own, and Evelyn Witherspoon, the mayor's beautiful but restless wife whose whispers with Jack hint at a forbidden past. As tensions simmer, hidden loyalties emerge, and an eerie surveillance network closes in, it becomes clear: Witherspoon Falls isn't stuck in time by accident.
This is Part One of a four-part screenplay saga-a genre-bending fusion of psychological mystery, retro satire, and slow-burn suspense. Witherspoon Falls is for fans of Pleasantville meets The Stepford Wives, with a side of Get Out paranoia and Fargo wit.
Some towns preserve history. Others weaponize it.
