'The Sinner' season 2: The story so far

So far season 2 has established its characters under a grey palette and each has a story attached to themselves.
PUBLISHED AUG 15, 2018

'The Sinner' Season 2 started off on an eerie note where the story took us through the mysterious corner of Keller, which just like any small town in the West has a secret it is sitting upon. Treating that secret as a part of the whole, the show concentrates on the murder of two people who are killed by a 13-year-old boy called Julian(Elisha Hening). However, when Detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) arrives to help out Detective Heather Novack (Natalie Paul) with the case, it is soon revealed that the town's secret is its commune led by an enigmatic woman named Vera (Carrie Coon). 

While Episodes 1 and 2 have left behind several clues to determine what could be the actual reason behind the murders, they have also revealed several stories surrounding the characters. In Season 2, as every character finds a story attached to themselves, the first two episodes have given us enough material to fathom what could possibly happen in the story next.
