The Plot…

Strange things happen at Caddo Lake.

When a woman has a seizure, she drives off the Caddo Lake bridge.  Her son Paris is able to free himself, but not his mother.  She dies.  Paris lives with guilt.

Ellie’s family lives on Caddo Lake.  Ellie never forgave her mother for remarrying after her dad disappeared. Although Ellie loves her stepsister, Anna, Ellie’s relationship with her mother and stepfather is strained at best.

When Anna disappears somewhere on Lake Caddo, the police form search parties.  Paris joins in. Ellie as well.

In a remote area of Lake Caddo, mysteries unravel.  Paris and Ellie will learn answers to questions that have haunted them for years.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Lake Caddo is a real lake in Texas.

I appreciate that Lake Cadado respects the audience’s intelligence.  It takes time building the story and this adds to the payoff.

Caddo Lake (2024) rates 3 of 5 stars.
