Set back in the 1900's. Norma Bates is married to a man named Sam Bates who is a captain of the army. She and her two sons fend for themselves for the most part until a certain dark eyed man changes their world. I thought of this idea whilst watching Boy In The Striped Pajamas if that says anything.

Season 3 Episode 6 of Bates Motel redone. Instead of Norma storming off to Portland, she finds herself in a dangerous situation with Alex Romero.
