The film stars Tadhg MacMahon as James, a man whose mother has recently died; discovering an old shoebox filled with birthday cards from his grandparents that he never received, he decides to go visit his grandparents, Maurice (Jim Reid) and Linda (Ilona Garcen) in the hopes of understanding why his mother broke off contact with them, only to unwittingly uncover supernatural hints of their community's history of slavery.
