After moving into their new Upper East Side apartment, two roommates’ lives are upended by the lingering impact of its infamous former owner

Description

A cheap Upper East Side apartment seems like a dream for roommates Addie (Betsey Brown) and Noelle (Madeline Quinn), but when the apartment’s odd history indicates it all might be ''too good to be true,'' the pair begin unraveling the dark secrets of their new home and its notorious former owner.

Addressing the #MeToo movement and contemporary conspiracy theories with satire, wit, and thrills, Dasha Nekrasova’s directorial debut is a biting genre-bender that brings EYES WIDE SHUT into the QAnon age.
