影片改编自苏珊·斯卡夫·梅瑞尔小说，背景设置在上世纪60年代，讲述了一对年轻夫妇(勒曼、杨饰)搬去与美国哥特惊悚小说家雪莉·杰克逊(莫斯饰)及其丈夫(斯图巴饰)同住，他们因此卷入一场心理惊悚事件，而这也为杰克逊的下一部小说提供了素材。
As renowned for her morose nature as she is for her horror fiction, writer Shirley Jackson (Elizabeth Moss) is crafting yet another masterpiece when the arrival of newlyweds Fred and Rose disrupt her creative process and marriage to literary critic - and philandering professor - Stanley Hyman (Michael Stuhlbarg). As Stanley spars to maintain academic dominance over his would-be protégé Fred, Rose attempts to dampen her own ambitions and adjust to married life while living under the roof of their fiery intellectual hosts with quicksilver loyalties and myriad neuroses. When the motives of Shirley's literary muse prove elusive, Rose's curiosity and trusting nature make her tender prey for a brilliant author whose only allegiance is to her work.
