Overview[]
Six months after the death of his father, 17-year old Norman Bates and his mother, Norma, move from Arizona to the town of White Pine Bay, Oregon, where they purchase a motel with the insurance money from his father's death. A few nights later, the former owner breaks in and sexually assaults Norma, before Norman knocks him out and Norma kills him. Together, they dispose of the body in a lake. His disappearance soon attracts the attention of the town sheriff Alex Romero and his deputy and Norma and Norman must stop them from finding out the truth. Meanwhile, Norman enrols at the local high school, befriending a classmate, Emma Decody, and attracting the attention of teacher Blaire Watson. Elsewhere, Norma's other son, Dylan Massett (Norman's half-brother) arrives in town.
