Synopsis
Sleeping Beauties: A strange illness called Aurora causes women to become wrapped in cocoon-like material when they sleep. In the Appalachian town of Dooling, tensions rise as men struggle to govern without women and react violently to fear and uncertainty. A mysterious woman named Evie appears immune and becomes the focus of conflict at the local women's prison. The story follows families, prison staff, inmates, and townspeople as the crisis tests social bonds and personal loyalties.
