PREMISE
In the African American neighborhood of Sag Harbor, New York, Charles Blakey (Corey Hawkins) is out of work, out of luck, and on the verge of foreclosure on his ancestral home. A knock on the door from a mysterious businessman, Anniston Bennet (Willem Dafoe), brings a bizarre and lucrative proposition. Bennet wants to rent his dusty stand-up basement out for the summer. This arrangement offers enough money for Charles to clear his debts for good. Once Charles accepts, he finds himself led down a terrifying path. It confronts his family’s ghosts and locks the men in a terrifying puzzle. At the heart of it are race, the source of their traumas, and the root of all evil.
