Discover the source of fear and resulting insanity associated with Aurora Street. Situated in an idyllic Colorado farming town in the 1950's, Aurora Street is the location of a cemetery and a beloved grandparent's home. This seemingly simple fact of geography mentally tortures a young child continuously through adulthood until she is institutionalized in a mental health facility. The patient, Kay isn't surprised that she requires treatment because she's been frighteningly aware since childhood that something in her psyche was amiss. Kay's mind is a twisted mess of memories and fantasies in which her therapist, Doreen carefully explores and unravels the source of the trauma. The unfolding story of Aurora Street is alternatively told by Kay's memories of a simpler time contrasted by Doreen's probing questions in an effort to diagnose a seriously ill woman. Aurora Street is a scary tale because the events in Kay's narrative appear "normal". There is no ugly, sinister monster under Kay's childhood bed. Something much worse causes her to lose her mind.
