Last Poe

In Last Poe, two timelines intertwine—a haunting execution in 1822 Boston, witnessed by a young Edgar Allan Poe, and a modern-day mystery unfolding in the small resort town of Poeland, Wisconsin.

At the heart of the story is Annabel Lee Poe, a strong-willed yet emotionally guarded 25-year-old, whose past horrors shape her aloof demeanor. On her way to an internship in Seattle, she makes an unexpected detour to claim an inheritance—her family’s old Poe estate in Poeland. However, her arrival coincides with a disturbing tragedy: a tech entrepreneur dies in a gruesome car accident, his fate echoing long-forgotten murders.

As Annabel delves deeper, she joins forces with her uncle, Nash, the town’s medical examiner, and her childhood friend J.C., his assistant. Their investigation uncovers unsettling patterns—mysterious deaths of young women, eerie connections to Native American folklore, and a cursed Kachina doll at the crash site. The case soon entangles Sheriff Briggs, a man battling his own demons, particularly after the suspicious overdose of his troubled son, Connor.
