Long-buried secrets from the past resurface in Alex Winter's Adulthood , a suburban noir comedy that takes the concept of skeletons in the closet literally to very mixed results. When Meg (Kaya Scodelario) and Noah (Josh Gad) return to their childhood home to take care of their mother, they find more than they bargained for in the form of a decaying body hidden in the walls of the basement.

They identify the corpse as that of their missing neighbor Patty, who disappeared when they were children in the early 90s. The town blamed her then-husband and the family scattered.
