Project Description:
When a failed journalist returns to her southern hometown to bury her grandmother, she inadvertently discovers her next story: her grandmotherâs mysterious death echos an unsolved lynching from the townâs past. As she investigates, she uncovers painful secrets and unsaid truths shared by the townâs white and black residents and a dark family secret rooted in the occult that may hold the answer to both murders. Plagued by familial demons, she must confront generational trauma and supernatural forces to reveal the truth and escape the fate sheâs doomed to inherit. âSharp Objectsâ meets âHereditaryâ in this southern gothic audio drama.
