Witness Tree

FAITH, a struggling single mother faced with eviction, hits the road with her two sons - resentful teenager ETHAN and deaf 7-year-old JAMIE. When their car rolls, Faith is lost in a coma for days, waking to discover her shattered family recuperating in hospital. Out of desperation she lands unannounced at Tempest, the decaying bay-side mansion of the estranged grandmother who inexplicably cast her out as a six-year-old, almost 30 years ago. The house brings back painful memories of her banishment, news of her mother's suicide under mysterious circumstances and the revelation of her family's slave- owning past. Can she find the link between her mother's death and the slave girls ghost before she loses her own sanity?
