It follows a group of characters as they arrive in Tall Pines and realize that something is amiss not just with the town but with the local boarding school for troubled youth, as well as its head teacher, Evelyn Wade (Toni Collette)."
"The weirdness of Tall Pines is uncovered mostly through Alex and Laura's story. As soon as the married couple move back to the pregnant Laura's hometown of Tall Pines from Detroit-there's a hint that Alex, a police officer, might have gotten in trouble back in Michigan for an incident that he claims "by no means" involved "excessive force"-it becomes clear that things are not what they seem."
