The land.

The land knows you

even when you are lost.

It could be narcissism or pure curiosity of self origin,

but some data shows

that ancestral research is the second most common research

done online in the United States.

Right next to pornography. Of course.

Damn right. It is Enough.

Has anyone heard of ancestral lineage healing?

Oh, Ember.

Yeah. Its purpose was to source,

inherited ancestral trauma

and try to heal whatever that means.

What about harm? Uh, yeah.

I mean, the deeper you go,

the more you find out there could have been harm.

But I think it's main purpose was to heal

Or harm can happen in the process of healing

as black people in America, we find a lot of cruel truths,

but today we focus on black land loss.

An issue that plagues black landowners across the south.

Oh, like heirs property.

Exactly. Heirs property is the leading cause

of black land theft today.

Black people would buy, land, die

and give their land to their children or other family.

They hope that as heirs of the land,

they might be protected.

The issue is one of cloudy title.

They're unable to prove they own the land.

So it's susceptible to be taken from them.

Why can't they just change the title themselves

or get someone to help them change it?

I mean, don't get me wrong. I know there's a lot

of systemic issues, but shouldn't it be our responsibility

to change that standard?

So go to the hood, knock on their door

and teach them that you don't wanna give up your comfort

because you have your own life.

Right? It'll be a lot to commit to.

Changing systems is easier said than done.

Hmm. 15% German girl.

Bye, Emery. You have got to try this s**t.

I don't have time for that right now, Jess.

See, that's why nobody being here in the first place.

That's why you need to stop playing around

because we gotta study.

Come on. You know,

those things are just an easy cash grab for people.

Desperate enough to find out how black they are.

Okay? And haven't you ever wondered if you had a

little Cherokee in you girl?

No, I don't. Alright.

Alright. This is a waste of time.

You can take a few seconds away from

your social anthropology.

Alright? Fine. What's your mom's full name?

Wiley. Full name. Oh, sorry. Uh, Sonya. Okay. Wiley

And your dad.

Girl. Are you serious? I don't know.

I wouldn't know that n***a if he walked in here right now.

Mm mm

Sorry to that man.

Okay. Well did you have any

other family? 'cause I could still,

Uh, no, it, it's just been me and my mom.

We kind of do our own thing.

I stopped asking about the rest of them years ago.

So like, no one's reached out or said anything. Jazz.

Can we not? Okay.

Sorry

b***h.

Now I know this is your s**t here.

Phone shot. This is my s**t.

Alright, that's it. Come on.

I just see you use those Megan knees. Yes.

Don't even hit in s**t.

They still still talking because they scared me. N****s all.

I ain't dumb. You got a problem?

Oh my god. B***h, there's a party this weekend. No

Dad, I'm not going to any more parties with you.

'cause Last time you were crazy.

I can't, I've got plans this weekend.

Are you serious? Don't tell me it's

that flaky white boy again.

Amber. Let's go.

Oh, okay. I see.

So you're ditching me for the white b*****s again.

What? It's not even like that. And Tess isn't even white.

Look, you were the one who told me I need to go out

and have fun this weekend.

I meant have fun together.

I'm sorry, Jess. Okay, I gotta go.

You know it's not a requirement to hang out

with your ex's friends, so why do you do it, Amber? Because

They're my friends too, just like you.

And they're nice. I have to go. Okay.

I love you. Stay black.

No, you stay black. Let's go.

Ow. Ow Girl.

If you don't get your bony ass down from there, what?

Are you crazy?

See, I knew you would do this.

Do what? Have a stick up your ass. Ember.

We're on a girl's

Trip.

I'm doing this for your own Good, Tess.

No, it's it's not him.

False alarm. It's just her mom.

Oh. Surprised it wasn't from one of your home girls.

Is there a particular reason you don't

answer their calls around us?

You know, she talks differently when

she's on the phone with them, right?

Oh my God.

She does. No, I don't, I talk just the same.

No, no, no. Yes you do.

As your roommate. I can't attest to this.

You're like, These girls got me doing some

white girl shoes.

Mm-hmm. I, I don't sound like that.

Oh, you do be talking like that.

Well, hey, at least I do have homegirls.

These two fake b*****s are just here

for a free trip. Ah,

Am not. Jeez.

Now that I think about it, Ember is the only one

who pays me back for anything.

You know what, em you always keep it real.

That's what I love about you.

I mean, it sucks that Polly couldn't see that.

Love him, but your boyfriend is being

such a jerk ex-boyfriend.

They're just on a little break.

Okay guys? Sure.

Well, there will be no talk

of s****y boyfriends on this trip.

Past or present.

We are on our white girl s**t. And we're gonna

Get two white girl said at some point this

Weekend.

Ugh. So ghetto. I have to pee inside.

Don't worry. It's just my mom. Mm-hmm.

Uh, 20 on pump one. A little sticky.

Make sure you press it hard. Cross.

Where are you? I see you turned off your location,

Mom. Really?

Come on. I'm almost 21.

I'm with Tess from the girls,

But I thought you said you were coming.

Yeah. Well, SLAM's changed mom.

I know. Yes.

Hi.

Hey, I don't need anything. My friends are treating me,

Treating my daughter doesn't need a handout,

Mom. It's not.

They're my friends. Okay.

That's kind of what friends are for.

What about that other nice girl? Jasmine?

Yeah, mom. Jazz is my friend too,

but you know I'm allowed to have other friends, right?

Mm.

You know you could come home whenever. I love you, baby.

Oh s**t, My apologies. I didn't mean to scare you.

Uh, it's yours.

Yeah. F**k my shirt

Again.

Sorry.

Mom, can I call you back? Right? Thanks.

Hi. Um, excuse me. Do you have a restroom?

Restrooms are for paying customers only.

Uh, Okay.

I don't, I don't have any cash on me.

Well then I guess I can't help you then.

Hey, do you have any more cash?

I have to buy something to use the restroom. Why?

I didn't have to.

What's wrong? Ask Lexi.

Uh, I don't know.

The lady at the register wouldn't give

ember the restroom key.

Are you serious? What?

Hey, what town is this lake house in again?

That's not too far away.

Still by your dad lets you use his properties whenever.

Yeah, about that.

Actually, I, I kind of had to finesse the keys.

What? Look, what daddy doesn't know won't hurt him.

And plus it's, it's not like this would

be the first time anyway.

I mean, remember Boca?

Yes.

So what do we think ladies?

Isn't it like so fab?

It's so natural.

I'm obsessed. Are you obsessed?

Mm-hmm.

Hey,

Are you good?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Y'all gonna stand there all day?

Amber, can you grab the luggage?

Oh, thanks em.

Abs. This place is something, I know

it was practically like nothing when we bought it,

but a couple of years is some TLC

and I'll be making bank off this place

with a snap of a finger.

I thought you said it was a lake.

Um, I'm sorry, Tessa,

how many waterfront properties do you own?

And you don't have any neighbors, like at all?

No private property.

The land's been in the family for like,

my dad's got land all over Florida.

So how about we go explore

This Looks like the best room.

This will be mine.

Ooh, master bath.

Ooh. Can't wait to get in here later.

This must be the terrace.

This will be your room. Remember?

It feels a little hot in here, don't you think?

It doesn't feel any different to me, but we can trade rooms.

It can go on. I really don't mind.

It's cool, I guess. Are you sure?

Look, she said she's fine.

Tessa, why don't you just like open a window or something.

I'll send somebody to take a look at it tomorrow if

that makes you feel better.

Yeah, that works. Cool. Well, I'm gonna go get settled,

Dude. This place is

f*****g s**t.

Oh, you scared me. Where are you going?

Oh, I was just gonna go outside to call my mom again.

Okay. Listen to me.

You deserve better than him. Okay?

I mean, how is he gonna learn any better if you don't put

your foot down and show him?

His behavior is unacceptable.

I know, but I also just really need some closure.

So I'll be right back. I promise. Okay.

What's up Paul?

Leave a message and I'll try to get back to you.

Hey. Hi.

Um, I think we need to talk.

How things ended between us was pretty f****d up.

So when you get this,

can you just give me a call?

Okay.

Hello?

Hello.

Oh my God. M oh my God. Are you okay?

What Were you doing out there?

I was trying to call Paul,

but then, uh, we'll see

what happens when you break the rules.

No, shut up. Lexi. Listen.

Okay, there's this thing, there's this thing out there.

I, I was walking and I saw this grave site

and it was full of flies and something reached up

and it grabbed me.

What thing? You mean like, like an animal or something?

No, it was like a, a person. What?

I think outside. Oh my god. Oh my God.

Do you think I need to call the police or something?

No guys, it didn't look human.

Well, are you like bleeding

or No, you're not listening to me.

There was something outside that tried to kill me.

So I, I think we just need to leave.

I think someone is missing their ex.

Oh, okay. Well look Amber,

we like literally just got here.

Um, are are you good? Like,

I'm serious.

There's something out there

and I I can show you

and once you see it, we, we need to leave.

Okay. We'll go out there with you.

But after this, there will be no more talk of leaving

and no more Paul.

We're all here to have fun. Okay.

Whatever. Can we just go?

Whoa.

Oh my God. This is ridiculous. Ember. It's just a hole.

Probably the leftover from construction or something.

You know, if you wanted to go home

so badly, you could have just said.

So. We'll take a vote.

All in favor of leaving my somewhat luxurious lake house so

that ember can go F**k Paul.

This isn't about Paul. I just wanna leave.

Okay. All in favor of staying

and having a lovely dinner tonight.

Well, looks like you've been outvoted. I say you go shower.

Clean up and just get ready for dinner. Okay.

You know, maybe next time try fake being sick.

The D is worth it. It'll work every time. I wasn't faking

Amber.

Amber feeling better?

Yeah. Yeah, sure. Mm-hmm.

Wait, what's, what's that smell?

Lasagna, family dinner. Compliments of Lexi.

Luckily she didn't burn the house down, right?

Oh, I did forget something though. Oh, no.

Actually I have it. No, it's right here.

It kind of smells like home. Where are you from again?

I'm from all over.

Um, I lived in Florida till I was eight.

And then, um, I guess something must have happened.

'cause then my mom moved us away, so

we don't really talk about it.

Don't talk about what?

Um, it's kind of funny.

My mom would say that she could

hear me up at night sleepwalking.

And that she would hear me talking to who?

No one. Um, she said that I was interacting

with the ancestral plane.

I'm also big on spirituality.

I heard actually that clear quartz in your pillowcase.

Oh, Tessa, don't start with that.

Airy fairy crystals up the ash that tonight, please.

Well, my nana always says that God speaks

to us in mysterious ways.

Do you believe in God? No, I don't.

My mom does though. She's another reason why we don't really

get along much these days.

Can you, um, like pass me the knife now? Happy

Birthday.

You happy birthday.

You happy birthday

Dear Amber.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday Ann. Yay. Guys, come on.

My birthday's not until next week.

You didn't have to do this. Of course we did.

We just wanted to do something extra special

for you while we're all together.

Thank you. Now make a wish for year.

Um,

Guys, I'm 21.

21. Bob. Leo. Right?

Cheers to a bomb ass.

What? What did you just say?

What? I was just singing along?

No, I I don't think she said it.

I thought we were having fun.

I, Whatever.

Look, I really just don't wanna talk about this right now.

I don't smoke. Remember?

Oh, I think we should talk about it. Umbi Miguel.

Okay. Well your

family also has money.

Yeah, but you have a different kind of privilege.

You don't even start with the privileged card.

It is privilege. Well,

Why is it such a crime to have money in this country?

Care to share your thoughts.

I mean, you're the expert, right? Miss social anthropology.

Well, let's be real.

Who needs this many homes?

And everyone knows

that assets in this country equates to power.

And without those assets, people have no rights.

Please. Everybody wants power.

I mean, people are mad at me for having what I have,

but they also want what I have.

No, it's not just that. It's how you've gained that power.

You, Abigail, you have had a headstart.

What about the people who haven't?

Well, why should I have to

suffer for the sins of the past?

I didn't enslave or kill anybody.

I mean, should I, should I just pretend to be poor?

To appease people and cater to their discomfort? Huh?

Get over yourself.

I don't see any shackles around your feet. Amber.

That's my cue. Goodnight.

Did you

Hello?

Did you find it?

Oh the f**k.

Oh, you look like s**t.

Thanks. I was doing morning yoga.

Did did you need something?

Uh, I just wanted to come

and apologize, you know, for, for last night.

I don't want you to think I'm like some sort

of insensitive rich b***h or something.

I probably just had like, too much to drink.

It's fine. I don't think that.

Um, while you're up, would you mind grabbing some drinks

and bringing 'em outside for us?

Sure. Let me just get washed up first.

Perfect.

Hey guys, I got the drinks. Yes.

Hey, do you like Chanel?

Sure. Why

here?

Ooh, perfect. Yeah, those look so good on you.

Thanks Abigail.

This is for you.

Oh, uh, I can't really drink that sweetie.

That makes me like really bloated.

Okay. Actually,

if you could just grab me like a regular, regular water.

Thanks.

Okay.

Hey Abigail. What's the ETA on the guy coming

to fix the air conditioning.

Can you get that?

You are the creep from the gas station.

Creep. Creep is a strong word.

I was just trying to be a good Samaritan is all.

Babe, look clean. Hands this down.

Yeah. You owe me a new shirt.

I honestly should take that 180 years.

Yeah. Don't let the white people fool you.

We've been here much longer than they have.

You know? I can't imagine staying in one

place for 80 years.

Much less with family.

Well, it sounds like somebody's never been

to a family reunion before.

I haven't, honestly. I don't even know if I have cousins.

That's sad. Sad. I'm everyone's favorite cousin.

Right. So

that means that you must live around here then.

Oh no. I live about an hour away.

Family used to be closer until they started moving in.

Oh, you're here already. Uh, the AC unit is outside.

Do you think you could have it

finished by the end of the day?

I'll try my best, man.

Uh, well we'll be out by the pool whenever you're done.

Okay. Somebody's interested.

The handyman.

Did you, did you find the problem yet?

It's strange. I check everything

and nothing appears to be wrong with me.

Great. So it's all in my head, right?

No, I didn't say all that.

It just, maybe it's something else.

What do you mean? I've heard stories about this house.

Go on. I wouldn't be surprised seeing some weird

s**t going on.

Why not? Probably has history.

All history. Like how, how

Then the midgets got ahold of you. I see

Midges. Yeah.

The flies.

No seas tearing you up

and there's something else.

But You shouldn't stay here after dark

look.

You just see the look on your face.

Look, these are just stories my grandpa used to tell.

Like, uh,

The f**k

Before I forget.

If you need anything, just gimme a call

From the window to the wall.

Just give Earl a call. Mm-hmm.

Ask some good s**t. Some good s**t.

Great? So you're live.

Thanks for telling me you made it.

Wait, I need to get it.

We don't have time for this.

Ah,

Okay. Stop,

What? I told you I didn't do it.

Cut the s**t. Yeah, I am.

Are you mad or something? Why would I do this? Okay,

We're gonna get this all figured out right now.

Look, I have security camera footage.

This you,

That's Oh, another one

of your morning yoga routines, right?

That's enough. She says she didn't do it then.

She didn't do it. Are you really taking her side? Her side?

That's called enabling. Yeah.

Well, maybe it was Tessa who did it. What?

My s**t is scattered outside too. Abigail.

Do you even hear yourself? Amber's stuff isn't.

Well, what do you have to say?

Look, you're gonna believe what you want

no matter what I say.

You're still gonna accuse me. Okay?

Why don't we all just take a moment to cool down.

Just clean this s**t up.

Tessa, are you coming?

Jess? I think I might be losing my mind.

I really shouldn't have come on this trip.

Damn. Do I need to beat someone up? Do you need something?

I would literally drive up there to come get you.

What? No, no. Don't, don't do that.

It's just, it's some s**t with me

and Abigail that I gotta handle.

I was there. It felt so real.

Like I could feel and,

and touch everything.

And she feels so familiar.

I tilly's angry.

Oh wait, you said Tilly, right?

Yeah. It's the same name I keep hearing in my dreams.

Sure. You didn't see what I saw.

Ride with him. What

You going to help or not?

You can trust me.

Earl. Who is that? Max

Papa Boy.

I got somebody I want you to see.

Hi, nice to meet you. You nervous child?

Earl just brought me here

because he says you have stories, uh, about some

of the houses by the lake child.

I got as many stories as there are stars in the sky.

But now you don't come to hear that.

Oh, what did I come to hear?

Been seeing things at that house now ain't you?

How do you know? I know. Just like you know,

You Gifted child and only the gifted can see.

Can like you see can

Kin. What

do you what do you mean kin?

This air Don't smell familiar. This grass.

Don't kiss your feet. Look around.

Your blood is in these trees just like mine.

She's an angry spirit, ain't she? Just like you.

Ain't you angry too?

Let me put it plain. Usually an angry spirit means

it's unfinished business on this side before it can pass on.

Need closure. That backyard you playing in

could be somebody's graveyard.

Can we leave? Yeah.

All right Papa.

She's the only one that stayed.

Never stopped fighting tooth

and nail for her land back then.

Still fighting.

Tilly,

Your blood.

Hey mom, Everything Alright.

Why did you never bring me

around my family when I was younger?

Where is all this coming from?

Mom, please, can you just,

can you please answer the question?

It was like you were running from something.

I didn't want to get you all riled up like you used to,

but I guess you're older now.

I told you before, but you would have these

Dreams

If you can even call them that.

Most nights I would wake up to your screams.

This isn't our land anymore.

Wake a baby and

It just kept getting worse. So

We moved Somehow the further away from those Florida

backwood we got the better You were

Backwoods.

Just shy north of wa Colora.

Oh My God.

Oh sweetie, are you okay? Are the nightmares back?

Yes. She.

How do you know that name?

Mom? She's been haunting me since I got here.

Amber, Listen to me.

You need to get out of there. I almost lost you once.

I can't run anymore, mom.

I need to go back

Away from me.

Okay? Hey,

make yourself at home, boys.

Yeah. Make yourself the home.

So, uh, and your mom always like that?

Yeah. Here lately she just runs from everything.

And I think there's a difference between caution and fear.

Sounds like she loves you.

She is trying to make sure you're safe.

Look, I'm here for you,

but I also wanna make sure it doesn't get outta hand.

You know, even wise people left my paw limited in

what they know about what we can't see.

But I have seen

Why do you even care?

You really know me.

I, I can tell you need a friend.

I That you ain't got nothing.

That ain't too hearted to Plus I think you're really

nothing.

Nothing.

Abigail, Tess.

Just in time for the fun.

Well, when was the last time you saw Tilly?

You see anything?

What, what still's happening.

Don't move.

I don't see s**t. She's right behind me.

Yo. Amber.

Amber, come hang

Amber.

Ugh. Looks like she's a little busy with her new boo.

Yeah, it looks like they aren't wasting any time.

Thought we knew she'd actually get some on this trip. This

Property's sick. Oh,

thanks for the invite.

Well, pleasure is all mine. Uh, technically mine.

Oh, we should play. Never have I ever.

What are we like in middle school? Come on. Okay. Whoever

Has done it Has to drink.

Hmm. What about m Uh,

I think she's a little preoccupied with Mr.

Handyman. Yeah,

you're disgusting.

Oh, come on.

This is where she first grabbed me.

What? I have to figure out what she wants.

You're just gonna swan dive into a g*****n s**t hole.

Thank you.

I got a p**s. Uh, there's a bathroom to your right.

When you go in the dude, you're barbaric.

What nature call?

I think we should leave.

Whatever.

What?

Do what? You

okay?

Okay. Okay. I have one. I think. Uh, okay.

Never have I ever

had a one night stand.

I don't believe you was the first time for everything.

Don't you think?

Never have I ever been skinny dipping in public.

F**k you dude. Like, oh, what? No way.

Yeah. That's crazy.

Oh, Uhuh.

No way. B******t.

Tessa, come on, Tess up. No b******t.

It was there at church camp.

It okay.

I had some fun at church camp too.

Amber.

Okay. I have one. Never have I ever

thrown up on a date.

Not that bad guys. It's really not. No.

Once you hear the bull story, I promise.

Damn. It's stuck.

No, seriously.

Okay, my turn.

Never have I ever been a backstabbing b***h.

Uh, that's not really like a thing, hun.

Maybe you wanna try and be more specific. Hmm. Sure.

Never have I ever f****d my roommate's boyfriend.

Hold on. Hold on.

What did you just say? I said

never have I ever f****d my roommate's boyfriend.

Oh, shut up Lexi. You can drop the innocent act.

You know, you are just like me. You take what you want.

Just admit it.

Tears babe.

So I f****d Paul. Who cares? It didn't mean anything.

You did what?

Amber, don't b******t me right now.

What did you just f*****g say? Take a sip.

If you've ever done that. I certainly haven't.

Lexi boys. Amber.

F**k you Abigail. What? It's just the game.

Is it true? And listen to me answer

the question, is it true?

It was one time. That's also b******t.

Abigail, chill out. I didn't know how to tell you.

Was that the purpose of this entire trip?

To smooth things over with me? No. I wanted you here. Right?

So let me get this straight.

The backstabbing roommate teams up with the queen bee

who treats her friends like s**t.

Brilliant plan. Ladies.

You think I'm a queen Bee talk?

I think that you are a self-absorbed b***h

who treats her friends like s**t

and uses her money to get away with it.

Because I think you know, Abigail, that no one likes you

or wants you or can even stand to be around you

unless there's an expensive trip involved.

Wow. There she is.

The real ember. I didn't even want you here.

You and I were never friends.

You treat your friends like property, but you know what?

You actually don't own s**t.

Do you see this? This is the deed to this land.

And this right here is the signature

of Tilly j Wiley.

B******t. So I think that makes this my land.

You know, I think I heard those stories actually.

Yeah. Yeah. My, uh,

my grandpa told me about this black family

that just refused to leave the land.

They were basically squatters without proof

that they even owned anything.

Lexi hand that to me.

You spineless wig. I said, hand that to me.

No. Amber, just let her see it. Yeah. No.

Are you joking? Just talk. Just don't talk.

What is there to talk? Talk about Tes promise.

Get that down. Abigail.

Abigail. Oh, shut the f**k up. I think we're gonna leave.

No, no, no. Okay. We're cool. It's cool. Yeah. No.

Just having a moment.

We're we're gonna go stay.

Jess. Jess.

Jasmine, get up. Jess. Get up. Jess, get up.

You have to get up. Jess.

Jasmine,

she

Was trespassing.

This is not my fault.

Who do you think you are?

This is my f*****g property. My van

Dude Curry.

S**t.

I have to get it

Abigail.

Give it back. All

of this is mine.

You really think I give a s**t

about some s**t that happened a million years ago?

You're too stupid to know when to quit for your own good

deal with the mistakes of your past

and stop bringing everyone else into your mass.

Jess, Jess.

I'm okay. I

told you about those crazy white b*****s.

Lemme see. Ow. Okay. Sorry.

I just wanna make sure I wrapped it right.

Okay. You're hurting me, right?

Oh, she doesn't smoke.

Okay. You're a big girl now, I guess.

Ooh, girl. Gimme that.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Well, I, I hate to be the bearer of bad news,

but what are we gonna say about all these dead bodies?

Um, I mean, I guess we can just tell the truth.

Technically they were trespassing. Okay. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Oh, okay.
