The East 59 Café - Lee Branch

East 59 Meeting Room

Meet for a popular read, lots of stimulating conversation and coffee.

In this tense domestic thriller, a woman with a checkered past takes a new job that promises to give her the fresh start she needs. After 10 years in prison, rough-edged ex-con Millie is grateful to be cooking and cleaning for what seems like a nice upscale suburban family. Until she notices the wife’s increasingly strange, domineering behavior and how it affects both her husband and their young daughter.
