Life apart from her twin, Matilda, isn't easy for Charlotte Lakewood. On the other hand, life wasn't exactly easy with Matilda either. As the "good" twin, Charlotte often found herself falling victim to Matilda's precocious, and sometimes disturbing deeds. Hence, she thoroughly despised getting blamed for Matilda's antics, particularly since it was regularly a challenge to proclaim her innocence to their parents, seeing as Charlotte and Matilda were conjoined. To add insult to the injury, not only were their bodies attached, but so were their minds, permitting the girls to literally control each other's words and actions. Thus, it was always too convenient for the "bad" twin to force the "good" twin to do her dirty work. Upon starting college, Charlotte feels that she is finally free from her sister's clutches. The illusion of freedom is shattered though, when she returns home from school for summer break, only to become the prime suspect in the murder investigation of a young man from their neighborhood named Lenny Jones. Charlotte is widely regarded as the last person to be with Lenny before his death. However, considering she has no recollection of hurting him, and no desire to hurt him, she isn't exactly sure this is the case. Charlotte has a bad feeling that Matilda may have been the last one to truly see Lenny Jones. There are two problems though: 1). Matilda has no reason to hurt Lenny, and 2). Matilda has been dead for nearly three years. When Charlotte is summoned for questioning by Detective Mallone, she soon realizes things have spiraled completely out of her control.Search warrants have been issued to give authorities access to some of the most private details of the Lakewood family's lives through their personal diaries, stolen mail, and even the notes of the family therapist. It becomes that much harder for Charlotte to even think of a sufficient alibi. Not to mention there's the nagging realization that she doesn't even truly know what happened to Lenny Jones, for she seemed to have blacked-out at the last minute... With Matilda possibly reaching out from the grave and long lost secrets proving to have terrifying consequences, Detective Mallone soon learns that the circumstances surrounding the Lakewood family are precisely the things nightmares are made of. Attached: The Curious Case of the Lakewoods is a psychological and supernatural thriller about a family, their unusual history, the far-reaching consequences of their darkest secrets, and the lives that get caught in the chaos.
