A smart and original dramedy where a cleaner’s lie about clairvoyance turns power structures upside down in a USA where old injustices still linger.

In this female-directed debut, we meet Ray, an African-American cleaner working in luxurious homes where prejudice and gullibility thrive. Tired of being invisible to her clients, she claims to communicate with the dead—a lie that quickly makes her indispensable. But her newfound status comes with risks. Ray must navigate a world where lies and truths collide. Set against a backdrop of political and social change, this is a subtle yet powerful portrayal of class, race, and hierarchy. With sharp humor and visually striking scenes, the film offers an entertaining and thought-provoking journey that exposes the complexities of American society.
