The Beguiling

On a summer night in Brooklyn, two Natives from different tribes continue their first date at one of their apartments. They bond over cultural stories and traditions, but as the night unfolds, subtle red flags begin to emerge. Vulnerability gives way to suspicion as doubts about their Indigenous identities start to surface. As questions reach a breaking point, the evening spirals into a harrowing confrontation, culminating in a deadly and shocking revelation.
