 Tagline: Fearing is Believing.
Deep in the marshes and bayous of southern Louisiana, a little known culture of strange rites and rituals has existed for generations. For those secure in their skepticism, these practices are easily dismissed as colorful superstition, borne from the crucible of influences from Africa, France, the Caribbean and Spain. But for those who cross the dark threshold into belief, these forces of good and evil are tangible, powerful…even deadly.
For once you believe, everything you fear becomes real.
Strong-minded Caroline Ellis (Academy Award nominee Kate Hudson) is a driven young woman with no time for local tales of witchcraft and black magic. The young hospice worker is determined to make enough money to attend nursing school, even if it means taking a job as a live-in caretaker for the elderly owner of an isolated plantation house an hour's drive outside of New Orleans…deep in the atmospheric Louisiana delta renowned for the locals' mystical practices and powerful ceremonies.
