about the project and casting
In the small town of Money, Mississippi — the same place where Emmett Till was murdered decades ago — a series of brutal killings stuns the community. Each crime scene holds not one but two bodies: a murdered white man, and beside him, the corpse of a Black man who seems to appear and vanish without explanation.
Two detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, Ed Morgan and Jim Davis, arrive to untangle the mystery, but what they uncover stretches far beyond the town — a chilling, darkly comic reckoning with America’s history of racial violence.
Mixing biting satire with supernatural unease, The Trees turns the legacy of lynching into a haunting ghost story about justice that refuses to stay buried.
