The funeral of one of his elderly aunts brings a disenfranchised Hollywood executive back to his hometown, not knowing he’d be arrested as a suspect for more than half a dozen murders buried in the backyard rose garden while he tries to protect his elderly aunt who helped raise him.

SYNOPSIS:

Hollywood producer Lane Hewitt returns to his hometown for his aunt's funeral, and finds his elderly aunt needs to renovate her Victorian home. Lane discovers a disturbing mystery involving multiple murders and secret burials in his aunt's rose garden. It is revealed that Aunt Ester along with her sister Aunt Rachel and friend Bessie Miller, had been "helping" lonely old men by poisoning them and giving them "Christian burials" in their backyard. Lane races against time to have his Aunt Ester committed to a psychiatric facility to avoid arrest while learning the family history that his mother wasn’t related to the women, but they are the only family he has. He decides to reject Hollywood and starts a screenwriting school in the Victorian home, finding a new purpose and relationship with the contractor's daughter, Jessie Westcott.
