SYNOPSIS:

Daisy sees dead people—something impossible to forget in bustling, ghost-packed Toronto. She usually manages to deal with her unwanted ability, but she’s completely unprepared to be dumped by her boyfriend. So when her mother inherits a secluded mansion in northern Ontario where she spent her childhood summers, Daisy jumps at the chance to escape. But the house is nothing like Daisy expects, and she begins to realize that her experience with the supernatural might be no match for her mother’s secrets, nor what lurks within these walls…

A decade later, Brittney is desperate to get out from under the thumb of her abusive mother, a bestselling author who claims her stay at “Miracle Mansion” allowed her to see the error of her ways. But Brittney knows that’s nothing but a sham. She decides the new season of her popular Haunted web series will uncover what happened to a young Black girl in the mansion ten years prior and finally expose her mother’s lies. But as she gets more wrapped up in the investigation, she’ll have to decide: if she can only bring one story to light, which one matters most—Daisy’s or her own?

As Brittney investigates the mansion in the present, Daisy’s story runs parallel in the past, both timelines propelling the girls to face the most dangerous monsters of all: those that hide in plain sight.

[VD: Text on white background with monstera and tropical plant details above and below it reads, “a girl who can see the dead.” Imagery of a girl standing on a stool in a field of daisies. Text: a mother’s secrets. Video of a woman peeking out from behind a leaf and then her dragging her fingers along a flower. Text: an investigator looking for the truth. Video of a video camera’s recording preview of an interview between a Black woman and white man. Text: and the house… Video of a foggy forest and then close ups of a house within it. Text: that threatens to devour them all. Quick shots of a mass of birds flying, POV shots of running through the forest, a butcherbird eating someone on a thorn branch, a Black boy pulling the neck of his shirt up over his face, a house, the girl in the field of daisies, and a Black person’s hand pressing against a window and running down with blood on it. Text: “never give the dead what they ask for.” The image of the cover of the book Delicious Monsters by Liselle Sambury. The cover features a Black girl with short undefined curly hair lying on her side with half of her face above water and the other half a shadowy and creepy reflection of her face. Her fingers on the top half transform into branches that have butcherbirds roosting on them. The background in a foggy forest with a house just behind her head. The title Delicious Monsters is in a sans-serif font and is a mix of two gold colors. The word ‘Delicious’ is at the top of the cover, and ‘Monsters’ is at the bottom. Also at the bottom is the text “Liselle Sambury. Author of Blood Like Magic and Blood Like Fate.” The final image in the video is a text screen that says, “Welcome home. Feb 28, 2023.”]
