The script will be written by Chad Feehan (Beyond the Pale) and the story follows true-crime writer David Neff (Cooper) as he investigates the odd murder mystery about a recluse known as"the man with a thousand mittens". Neff becomes obsessed with the case and discovers his own dangerous connection to a chain of serial murders. As he gets closer to uncovering the identity of the Man from Primrose Lane, he realises that he must look outside the believed parameters of time and space in order to solve the mystery.
