About Locke and Key
After their father Rendell is brutally murdered, the three Locke siblings, Tyler, Kinsey and Bode, relocate with their grieving mother Nina from Seattle to the family's ancestral New England home, an imposing mansion called Keyhouse in the small town of Matheson, Massachusetts. The move is meant to be a fresh start, but the house itself holds secrets far stranger than any of them could imagine, whispering to the children through doors and corridors that seem to want to be found.
Young Bode is the first to begin discovering the home's hidden magical keys, each one capable of bending reality in a specific and often wondrous way. There is a key that lets a person step out of their own body, another that opens a door into the corners of the mind, one that grants the power to go anywhere through any door, and others that can change a person's form, mend memories or unlock raw power. As the siblings experiment with these gifts, they slowly piece together the legacy their father never spoke of and the reason he kept his past hidden.
Standing against them is a malevolent demonic entity that hungers for the keys and will wear a friendly face to get them. What begins as childhood wonder darkens into a fight for survival as the Lockes learn that adults tend to forget magic exists, that every key carries a cost, and that the same doorways which delight them can also let monstrous things into the world. Across three seasons the family must master the keys, confront the truth about Rendell's death and decide what they are willing to sacrifice to protect one another.
