Two federal agents investigating a murder in the rugged Pacific northwest disappear. The FBI sends another agent to investigate. He has premonitions of the next victim: local high school prom queen Laura Palmer. Her life consists of nightly excursions filled with sex and drugs. At home, a stranger waits for her in her bedroom or climbs in through a window and rapes her. At its core, this is an old fashioned mystery, though dressed up in the surreal imagery of director-writer Lynch. Most of the characters are actually suspects, with any number of motivations to murder Laura. The mystery would be stretched out in two complete seasons of the television series to which this is a prequel.
