For forty years, Lacie believed her mother was just overprotective. She believed she was forgetful, sick, and lucky to be taken care of.
Then a certified birth certificate arrives in the mail with the wrong year stamped on the state seal.
Two missing years unravel an entire childhood. When Lacie starts digging into old newspaper archives from her chair, she uncovers the cold case of a pregnant college girl who supposedly fell down the cellar stairs in 1983. A girl whose daughter never officially survived.
Now, her mother is standing in the kitchen, locking the deadbolt from the inside, ready to make sure the family secret stays buried.
Suffocating, raw, and relentlessly tense, 82/84 is a claustrophobic psychological thriller about stolen identity, maternal cruelty, and the brutal cost of reclaiming the truth.
