Summary

Moonstone Rescue (Pilot)

Maya Rhodes hasn’t spoken to her dead mother in two years. Not since the cancer. Not since her veterinarian father started putting down healthy animals and drinking alone at 2 p.m. Not since their black cat, Henrietta, began leading her to a farm everyone swears is cursed.

In Oak Bluffs, where rich men own everything and old women remember longer, lives Lupe McGregor. Part Wampanoag, part nobody’s business. The town calls her widow, witch, killer. Maya calls her the only adult who sees animals the way she does: as messengers carrying old grief and older medicine.

This is a ghost story where the living do more damage than the dead. Where 14-year-old girls inherit their great-great-grandmother’s boarding school traumas through dreams. Where love means teaching someone which plants heal... and which ones help you forget. Where a rose-breasted grosbeak at a cemetery means your mother heard you graduate, even if your father says birds are just birds, and dead means dead.

Written by Dominique Mouton.

Starring Vanessa Richardson, Madison Griggs, Rainbow Dickerson, Zeke Alton, Sarah Elmaleh, Angel Harper, Amanda Christine, David Reeves Tordilla, Parker Johnson, Derek Mehn, Felisha Wong, and Sarah Phillips.

This is what happens when the cat you named after your ancestor starts disappearing. You follow her. Even when she leads you to the witch’s house. Especially then.


Executive Producers: Shaan Sharma, Mark Knell, Jack Levy
