It begins with a familiar premise—a single mom and her two teenagers return to her hometown to reunite with her estranged father. There’s the usual small-town gothery: spooky legends, famous disappearances, only mildly cult-y traditional bonfires, and one lone clock tower that doesn’t seem terribly ominous even in the dark. But things quickly take a turn for the weird after the mom goes missing. Strangers in an increasingly stranger land, the kids stumble upon a curse that involves a truly goosebump-inducing take on the “Inside You There Are Two Wolves” meme.
Here’s the series’ official synopsis, from Netflix:
Seventeen years after the tragic events that forced her to leave Curon, a woman returns home with her twin children. They soon discover that the town is cursed: when you hear the bells of the old church tower ringing, repressed feelings come back to the surface.
Curon drops on Netflix June 10.
