Plot of the series

Twin Peaks is a mystery-drama show set in the made-up town of Twin Peaks, Washington. The story moves ahead with the shocking discovery of Laura Palmer, a high school student, whose body is found wrapped in plastic by a river. FBI Agent Dale Cooper is called to look into a murder case. He discovers that Laura, a popular homecoming queen, had a hidden life with drugs and risky relationships.

As Cooper explores more, he meets some unusual townspeople, experiences strange dreams, and faces supernatural events. Laura's father, Leland Palmer, is eventually shown to be controlled by a being named BOB, which makes him commit the murder.

The investigation grows into a bigger story connecting to two mysterious places called the Black Lodge and the White Lodge.
