The first season follows Norman and Norma Bates when they buy a motel shortly after Norman's father dies. On one of the first nights of the two owning the motel, things end badly when the former owner breaks in and rapes Norma.

When the town sheriff and his deputy notice that a man has gone missing, Norma and Norman must keep them from digging too far.
