So Pipe the Young
What happens when a Type A mother miscalculates? Death.
After a violent murder at her son’s school, Annabelle Granger, wife, mother, and robotics engineer, leaves her career and uproots her suburban family for a more authentic life in rural New Mexico. Ambitious Annabelle remakes herself online as a homesteading guru. While she chases approbation on Instagram, her son Heath and his new friends invent a sinister outlet for his trauma. Life amongst the underserved families who have lived on the same land for generations challenges Annabelle’s worldview and has set her decision-making compass spinning. Are the neighborhood children independent or neglected? Are they helping Heath recover from the terrible incident at his old school or encouraging his morbid fascination with death? Is this wholesome country life or something much more sinister?
Annabelle has always made good decisions, but moving to Box Elder will not be one of them.
