Since its arrival on Netflix, ‘The Strays’ has had the masses in deep dialogue.

Led by Ashley Madekwe, the layered psychological thriller spotlights the life of an upper-middle-class woman named Neve whose meticulously crafted reality unravels with the arrival of two mysterious figures in her town. When help fails to materialize, she’s left with more questions than answers and wonders whether she’s coming undone.

Helmed by Nathaniel Martello-White, the film also stars BAFTA winner Bukky Bakray – who delivers a stunning performance as Abigail.

That Grape Juice‘s Maya Egbo sat down with Bakray, who opened up about the compelling film, “that” ending, and much more.
