We’re introduced to Leigh (Bethany Anne Lind) in her dank auto shop, gazing, panic-stricken, at the body of a man and his spreading pool of blood. The murder, she will later claim, was in self-defense; but, instead of burning, burying or drowning the corpse — an oversight her estranged father (Will Patton), the town sheriff, will furiously berate her for — Leigh wraps it neatly in plastic sheeting and drives it to the man’s home.

“He’s in the shed,” reads the note she leaves in the mailbox for his son and girlfriend. “I’m sorry.”
