A darkly comedic body-horror film that weaponizes 1989 MTV aesthetics and beauty standards into a supernatural threat, blending social satire with genuine dread.

In 1989, an ambitious young woman gets a weave in order to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career may come at a great cost when she realizes that her new hair may have a mind of its own.
