At an elite New England university built on the site of a Salem-era gallows hill, three women strive to find their place. Gail Bishop (Regina Hall) steps into the position of “Master,” a dean of students, and discovers what lies behind the school’s immaculate facade; a first year student, Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee), confronts a new home that is cold and unwelcoming; and literature professor Liv Beckman (Amber Gray) faces off against colleagues who question her right to belong. Navigating politics and privilege, our characters encounter increasingly terrifying manifestations of the school’s haunted past… and present.
