A search for a missing father draws a Black family into occult conspiracies and supernatural dangers in 1950s America. Racist institutions are as threatening as the monsters they encounter, and magical power promises possibilities that arrive with devastating costs. Singer Ruby Baptiste becomes entangled with Christina Braithwhite through a relationship shaped by attraction, secrecy and bodily transformation. Their encounters complicate the boundaries between desire and exploitation, especially as access to another person’s social power becomes part of the bargain. Alongside its larger family adventure, the horror drama uses that connection to ask what freedom might mean when the terms are being set by someone who benefits from your vulnerability.
