Synopsis/Details
Aisha is a 22 year-old biracial college student dealing with the pressures of nursing school, a messy love life, and the recent death of her Mother. Her white father, a war hero from a prominent D.C. family who have long dismissively considered her illegitimate, vanished twenty years ago somewhere in the wilds of Montana. After DNA testing proves her claim of parentage, Aisha is contacted on a genealogy website by a newly-discovered relative and is invited to an annual retreat at the exclusive Northwoods Estate. It's elite members observe old traditions and odd customs, and soon she becomes suspicious. As the resourceful young woman pieces together the shocking truth, she must race against time to survive and expose a secretive members-only world of power, privilege and ancient ritual magick.
