A searing and strikingly intimate debut set in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, about a newly married lesbian couple who move into a flipped foreclosure, unaware that the former homeowners are still living in the attic.
Months after the housing bubble bursts, newlywed Chicagoans Emma and Rachel move into a charming little house in a conservative Indiana college town, hoping for a fresh start after a painful miscarriage. As Rachel immerses herself in her new role as a tenure-track professor and bestselling novelist, adjunct Emma struggles in the shadow of her wife's success. Desperate to build something of her own, Emma secretly pursues IVF, even as Rachel insists they wait to have children. The house, initially a symbol of new beginnings, becomes a refuge for Emma from the town she's convinced is set against her--until strange occurrences make her question whether she and her wife are truly alone.
They aren't.
Charlotte and Dirk, the former homeowners, are secretly living in the attic above Emma and Rachel's attached garage. Dispossessed by the recession and anxious about her husband's declining health, Charlotte listens to the interlopers below, and her resentment steadily grows. What starts as small acts of defiance--missing food, flipped breakers in the fuse box, subtle scratches in the furniture--soon becomes sabotage. But when her campaign to drive out the couple goes too far, Charlotte's and Emma's stories converge in an explosive climax that will reveal the lengths people will go to reclaim what they've lost.
