They Drown Our Daughters is a modern gothic and ghost story that explores motherhood, identity, and the lengths a woman will go to hold on to both. The story follows Meredith Strand and her young daughter as they return to Meredith's childhood home, where her mother is convinced that the ghost stories are real. The women are bound by blood and heartbreak, and if Meredith isn't careful, they will be lost one by one to the ocean's mournful call.
