Bridget didn't have a great childhood after the fatal car accident she was in with her parents.  She was the only survivor and was sent to live at the infamous Bitter House with her grandmother. Vera Bitter was not the typical grandparent who spoiled her grandchildren with love and affection.  Brief interaction only when necessary was their relationship and she was raised by Vera's live-in assistant who had a son named Cole who was two years older than Bridget and seemed to get more attention in her grandmother's home than she did being her granddaughter.  Any interactions that Bridget and Cole had as children were negative which made her childhood growing up there even harder.  Immediately after Bridget’s high school graduation, Vera kicked her out of the house without so much as a goodbye, and Bridget never heard from her again.

 

Until now when she is told her cold-hearted grandmother passed away and shocked to hear that she left the huge mansion estate in her will to Bridget.  Oh, and she equally shares that ownership with Cole, the bane of her childhood existence.  He is now her new housemate since neither wants to sell the property nor afford to buy the other out.  Bridget is forced to deal with the past trauma of owning and living in a home where she was not wanted along with her childhood arch-enemy. 

 

You would think it was bad enough trying to sort things out with him, but they both have to deal with family drama over what her grandmother left to her living family.  Adding to those burdens the first of six anonymous letters is left in front of the door to their gated and locked property. 

Who has the code to get on the property and why are they leaving mysterious and scary notes? 

Was her grandmother doing illegal things and how does this person know of them? 

Are the dark secrets mentioned in the letter about her grandmother true? 

If so, are they in danger or is this just a ploy to scare them to sell the house to the family members who desperately want the house? 

Why after barely acknowledging her existence would she leave this huge mansion to her and the boy she fought with when she lived there? 

 

Bitter House seems to hide many secrets, dark deeds, and deception and is now being revealed to Bridget and Cole.  They need to put aside differences from their past and work together to determine what is true, and what is the end game with this information being given to them.
