The House Across the Street

Bag om The House Across the Street

Karen is an ex-realtor, divorced, and no-longer active in the industry. Now a private investigator, she specializes primarily in missing persons and potential infidelity investigations. One of her old real-estate customers, Wendy, has become a friend, with both endearing and disarming traits. With a heart of gold, she's also used to having people cater to her whims, which can be very frustrating for Karen. Karen has ongoing business in a local suspected infidelity case, and has just been approached from out of state. The new request is to try and find a person supposedly traveling to her city, but who has not kept in touch as promised with her partner back home. Karen now has two mysteries on her plate, one more challenging than the other. Wendy has observed some odd phenomena in the old house across the street from her home. Not knowing what to make of them, she calls Karen, because of her realtor background. Impatient, but seriously concerned, Wendy demands instant attention, highlighting the conflict in the relationship between the two women. Karen finds a plausible explanation for the unusual phenomenon her friend has observed. A massive storm with high winds and torrential rain rages for days, creating driving hazards from downed trees, racing rivulets of dirty water, and accumulated debris in narrow streets. Karen's investigation of the missing person stalls, although, with some creative thinking and help from a manager handling the traveler's assignment, she manages to trace the target to local stores, where the trail vanishes. When Wendy phones with yet another issue on the house opposite, Karen is predictably rude in her response. The ensuing investigation however involves both unexpected and unpleasant issues. Wendy is enormously upset, and Karen is thrown into an awkward position by the findings. The final outcome is only partially balanced by a new revelation between the two women.
