Sigourney Weaver, Quintessa Swindell and Esai Morales. Amanda Crittenden of
Kojo Studios and Scott LaStaiti are producing together with David Gonzales,
Schrader’s manager. Luisa Law, Kojo Studios’ Linda Ujuk and Dale Roberts are
executive producers. The film has wrapped and was shot in Louisiana (US). Narvel
Roth (Edgerton) is the meticulous horticulturist of Gracewood Gardens. He is as
much devoted to tending the grounds of this beautiful and historic estate, as he is
to pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs. Haverhill (Weaver). When
she demands that he take on her wayward and troubled great-niece Maya
(Swindell) as a new apprentice, chaos enters Narvel’s spartan existence, unlocking
dark secrets from a buried violent past that threaten them all. HanWay Films is
