Eloise is 22 years old and about to graduate from college. Except, she’s not. She’s actually in her childhood home, checking that the oven is turned off. And that the stove is turned off. And that the door is locked. And that she has written down enough reminders. But don’t tell her older sisters! However, Kris and Sarah’s lives are not all what they seem either, and, as they slowly learn, neither was their mother’s. As the family’s secrets unravel, Eloise finds herself losing more and more control, no matter how hard she tries to hold onto it. OBSESSED examines mental health, sisterhood, grief, and LGBTQ+ themes, and explores the humor and pain that coexist when grief knocks down the walls we have up and compels the people we love to see right through us when we desperately don’t want them to, but desperately need them to.
