The Look-Alike

Late one night, trudging back to her dorm, Sienna Scott comes upon a murdered classmate, her white coat and the snow-covered ground around her stained red. The police in Tranquility Bluffs, Wisconsin do their best to find out who killed her, but the case is never solved. In order to get some space from her small town and the murder, Sienna moves to London.

Ten years later, Sienna moves back to town to care for her mother, who suffers from paranoid personality disorder. She’s been in and out of treatment facilities, always convinced she’s being watched and plotted against. Sienna’s biggest fear in life is becoming like her mother. She monitors her own thoughts, constantly on the look-out for signs she has inherited her mother’s mental illness.

Sienna’s arrival sparks questions from the locals and reminders of the old murder. Then Sienna begins to receive threatening phone calls from an anonymous number, and she notices a white van slowly passing by her house multiple times a day. There’s also the fact that Sienna was wearing the same exact white coat as the victim that night, and has never been able to shake the fear that maybe she was the one meant to die.

The more time Sienna spends in Tranquility Bluffs, the more she wants to know what really happened. As the threats continue, Sienna gets more and more paranoid. Is she going crazy like her mother? Or has her mother been the sane one all along?
