Successful author Veronica Henley finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality and must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it's too late.
Originally scheduled as a big-screen theatrical release, the film will now debut as a PPV home streaming release on September 18th 2020 due to ongoing worldwide pandemic.
According to the writer/directors (a gay male couple) this film deals with the differences between white women and black women.
Renz told OUT "I was sitting on the couch and (Bush)'s making coffee in the kitchen. He's not looking in my direction. He's telling me, you know, the bullet points of the story. He turned around and I already got the laptop out. I'm like, 'We're writing this. Today.' And we wrote the short story, which we then based the script on."
Of white women and slavery and what Renz and Bush laugh when they temporise about "some white women", calling on their activist past to validate Renz's term "white women's complacency". He says, "a lot of times they get a pass like it's, 'Oh, you know, they just went along,' or whatever. That was not [always] the case. That wasn't the case for this character we wrote. She is kind of the real mastermind behind it..."
Bush, leaning on his "social justice activism" credentials says of the film, "Some people are not comfortable with the truth."
