About this Video
Isaiah, a Black college lacrosse player, joins his predominately white friends for a weekend away at a New Hampshire lake house. Surrounded by wealth and privilege, Isaiah performs and masks himself to fit in–laughing at transgressive jokes and accepting demeaning dares. The night takes a dark turn when Max, the group's ringleader, introduces a mystical family moonshine. As the liquor blurs the night, Isaiah is confronted by an ancestral spirit in the form of a 1700s slave who drives him to reckon with unresolved, inherited trauma and finally embrace the identity his environment tries to suppress.
