Andrea: The Front Yard

"Trapped inside a corrupted reconstruction of her childhood home, an eighteen-year-old woman must unravel the true memory of her brother’s death before a mysterious entity convinces her she killed him, only to discover that the man guiding her through her mind may have been manipulating her family long before the tragedy. "

ANDREA: “The Front Yard” turns a traumatic memory into a psychological crime scene. Rather than simply surviving a haunted house, Andrea must investigate her own mind, using physical inconsistencies and emotional details to determine which memories are real and which have been deliberately constructed to manipulate her. The mystery unfolds entirely through competing versions of the same childhood tragedy: the death of Andrea’s brother, Jack. Objects such as a red swing, bloody leaves, a roof shingle, and a buried recorder become evidence, while Andrea’s parents, her dead brother, and even her own guilt become unreliable witnesses. What begins as a supernatural mystery gradually expands into psychological horror and science fiction when the audience discovers that Andrea is undergoing a neural procedure and that something inside her memories may be able to manipulate the system itself. Most importantly, solving Jack’s death does not solve Andrea’s story. The front yard is only one sealed layer of her past. When Andrea finally proves that she did not kill her brother, she unlocks the family home. She discovers evidence that Dr. Philip Evilton, the man guiding her through her memories, was connected to her family years before the tragedy. The result is a contained horror mystery with a larger series engine: every recovered memory can answer one question about Andrea’s past while opening the door to something deeper that she was made or chose to forget.
