Mbatha-Raw stars as Claudia, an ambitious biracial lawyer who travels to Jamaica to challenge an inheritance claim lodged by a local resident against a wealthy white aristocrat.

However, the assignment quickly takes a disturbing turn when she discovers that the property at the centre of the dispute is Hope Hill, the Connaught family’s former plantation.

More unsettling still, the ominous estate is the same house that has been appearing in Claudia’s nightmares.

The newly released trailer offers a first look at the atmospheric thriller, which brings together elements of legal drama and supernatural horror while exploring questions of inheritance, identity, and the lasting scars of colonialism.

Joining Mbatha-Raw in the cast are Aml Ameen, Jocelyn Jee Esien, and John Simm.
