A young Gullah girl named Fatu (the Gullah are descendants of enslaved people who developed their own distinct culture) looks stoically over the sea toward the South Carolina mainland. She’s majestic, purposeful – donned in a striking white dress. Her gaze narrows as she conjures the “Boo Hag.” The Hag is a vampiric creature from Gullah folklore who steals the skin of human victims.
On the mainland, another girl (Carson) sleeps soundly in her room. A shadow begins to cover her body as the sounds of a creature “click” off screen. In a trance, Carson exhales. A stream of vapor escapes, growing intense. Carson shakes violently before falling still. The vapor stops; the shadow disappears.
We are then transported to a haze-filled world – swirling wind, dense fog, strange sounds, countless flyers – as Carson walks pensively down a country road. William “Billy” Snow III, the son of a local landowner, has gone missing – flyer of him pepper the road and tumble in front of a comatose Carson. Carson steps on one of the flyers, breaking her daze. She stands frozen, afraid.
We return to Carson’s lifeless body as an uncanny sound awakens her. After a brief investigation, she returns to her room to find Billy – shirtless, motionless, feral.
As she approaches him, her lamp reveals his appearance – eyes black, face pale, skin bruised. A scar tracks up the center of his body. Billy suddenly begins to twitch. Grotesque squishing, snapping, and wheezing accompany the writhing. Billy then rips his skin off, transforming into the Boo Hag!
The Hag brutally attacks Carson before knocking her unconscious. The creature then strips Carson of her skin. The tearing, the ripping are grisly. After removing Carson’s skin, the creature steps into it.
The Hag, now wearing Carson’s skin, emerges from the house bloodied, bruised, sown together – before calmly walking into the night.
Back on the beach, Fatu looks at us – her expression now deflated, filled with remorse.
