The Accent

• Watchlist

A half-whimsical, half-mystery tale about an introverted young woman looking to make new friends by attending an open-invitation book club in Oakland, California. The ensemble cast includes an eccentric host who lives in his bookstore, and several hilariously opinionated young couples. When the quiet new member opens up about her magical evening with a handsome British bloke, she turns the run of the mill meeting into a real-life mystery novel.
