Plots(1)
Witnessing how the generational disputes between the family patriarch, his wife and their two married sons become amplified when an unexpected visitor drops in... Enter Harry, a smiling charmer from the old days in the Deep South... Is he in fact an evil spirit, setting a curse upon the house?.. Harry, a bonafied trixter, both frightening and a little pathetic, serves as a catalyst to explore the conflicting systems of belief--Christian, magical, materialistic--endured by an already fragmented middle-class black family.
