The project comes from Zach Woods, who will direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with long-time collaborator Brandon Gardner.
“Life can feel so lonely sometimes. I think it’s worth telling stories about how scary, funny, and glorious it is when we’re brave enough to try to find our way to each other in the dark,” Woods said in statement.
“When 9-year-old Emily (Carganilla) accidentally tells her school nurse that her dementia-stricken grandpa almost got them killed, a rookie child-welfare agent Sarah (Plaza) is sent to their house to investigate. A botched extraction ensues and Emily is taken and placed with Sylvia, a new foster parent,” reads the official synopsis. “Sylvia (Sarandon) is mysterious, witchy, funny, and unpredictable. Her natural warmth and playfulness are complicated by the fact that she is haunted by visitations from her past. As Emily and Sylvia grow closer, their worlds, dreams, and visions begin to overlap. As their friendship deepens, they must decide how much they are willing to risk— whether their burgeoning love is worth the ghosts that it seems to summon.”
