In the humid landscape of 1982 Louisiana, the small town of Little France hides a sinister secret behind its quiet facade. Following the mysterious death of their friend Sugar, Iris and her circle of friends find themselves stalked by 'Fierce,' a masked figure whose presence is signaled by the chilling scent of gardenias. What begins as a local tragedy unravels into a terrifying discovery: a ritualistic cycle occurring every ten years that claims the town's youth. When they uncover a golden ledger containing their names and track a reclusive woman named Annie, the stakes turn deadly. As Iris vanishes, the remaining girls must navigate a decades-old conspiracy and a labyrinth of Southern Gothic horror. This multi-layered mystery challenges the bonds of friendship as the group realizes they are pawns in a game far older and more dangerous than they ever imagined.
