After tragedy strikes, Mira and her friends Jesse and Celine must unite to piece together the past so they can understand the future - and protect those in danger. She’s seen it up close during her own visits to plantations across the South.īut a reckoning looms on the horizon in Kipsen as the spirits of dead enslaved people plot their revenge against the guests, many of whom are descendants of the sadistic owner of Woodsman plantation, who once sold his slaves’ skin for shoe leather. It’s hard to read, but even more so when you consider the twisted merriment isn’t a work of McQueen’s imagination. In Gatsby-esque revelry, guests drink and eat happily, all while ordering around Black staff members, who are dressed as slaves in keeping with the plantation’s antebellum aesthetic.
