Gugu Mbatha-Raw's new thriller, "Possession," blends supernatural mystery, horror, and magical realism to explore the enduring legacy of colonialism and slavery.
Set in Jamaica, the five-part mini-series examines how the injustices of the past continue to shape lives in the present.
Claudia (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), an ambitious young mixed-race lawyer, travels to Jamaica to represent Oliver Connaught (Jonny Lee Miller).
The wealthy white aristocrat is contesting his late father's will after the vast family estate is left to a local man, Cudjoe East (Sheldon Shepherd).
But the case takes a disturbing turn when Claudia discovers that the disputed property is Hope Hill - the Connaught family's former plantation and the same place that has long haunted her nightmares.
