>>she starts to investigate their mysterious family ?background.
To what end? ?IOW: ?what is her objective goal in investigating the family skeleton closet?
And what are the stakes? ?What does she stand to gain ? ?What does she stand to lose?
The inciting incident — her sister’s remark — seems rather weak for an inciting incident. ?It’s a reveal and a reveal can be an inciting incident, but “legacy of their father” is rather vague. ?What’s the legacy? ?What’s the specific problem of the past haunting their present?
The visions are actually of her father’s crimes. ?He molested them and killed their mother. They were sent to live with their aunt and her son afterwards. She blocked the memories from her mind but developed a hatred of men, especially her brother (aunt’s son). When he dies, it triggers the memories. Her sister’s remark is meant to be sarcastic/snarky because she knows the truth.
Okay, but that’s all backstory. ?What’s the story going forward? What’s the dramatic problem now? that the woman must confront and resolve? ?What is her objective goal for solving the problem? ?Who or what opposes her? ?And what are the stakes– what does she stand to lose or suffer– if she fails?
