The Woman in the Yard movie storyline. When a young black prostitute, Cora Snow, turns up on the local beach trussed and savagely murdered, Kewpie is the only person in the white community who seems to care. It takes the similar killing of another black woman, then of a white woman, before the crimes get major attention.

By then, Kewpie and Nina Mendelson, a liberal librarian who left Wilmington in disgust but has returned to look after her dying father, have begun to uncover an upper-class white male conspiracy (which alert readers will have spotted many pages earlier). Kewpie, reluctantly running for reelection (he’d rather work for the state’s bureau of investigation), also has to worry about nightmares relating to his time in Korea, the pain of a recently failed relationship, and a threatening hurricane.

The Woman in the Yard is an upcoming American horror thriller film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by Sam Stefanak. It stars Danielle Deadwyler, Okwui Okpokwasili, Russell Hornsby, Peyton Jackson and Estella Kahiha. The film was released in the United States on March 28, 2025. It was previously scheduled for release on January 10, 2025, before being briefly removed from the release schedule.
