The story

Set in post-Katrina New Orleans, the film follows 15-year-old Shawna, a teenager grappling with self-esteem issues, particularly concerning her dark skin. She lives with her father and brother, while her mother, Denise, struggles with drug addiction in the dilapidated Ombreaux housing project, a place still bearing the scars of Hurricane Katrina. Shawna's summer takes a dark turn when she is attacked by a group of vampires while walking home from a party.
