Set deep in the misty swamps of 1800s Louisiana, this haunting adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy reimagines Macbeth against a Southern Gothic backdrop. When a decorated war hero encounters the mysterious Swamp Sisters, a prophecy ignites a ruthless ambition. What begins as a quest for power twists into a spiral of blood, guilt, and madness. As the mist thickens, loyalties fracture, the innocent suffer, and the cost of ambition becomes a crown soaked in blood.
