Liz experiences a racial awakening after becoming the prime suspect in her biracial goddaughter’s disappearance. Her search to clear her name compels her to solve the overlooked ritualistic killings of other Black girls. Slow start and pitiful main character but creative plot reveal.
Graphic: Animal death, Gore, Blood, and Murder
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Racism
Minor: Racial slurs and Sexual assault
