This season will focus on traveling nurse Deja (Armond), the newest tenant at the troubled (fictional) Freeman Lake Apartments, who relocated to Atlanta from Austin, Texas for a job assignment. She will room with an awkwardly shy and eclectic Doula named Shana (Ross).
Armand’s Deja starts off the season announcing her new assignment at the recently constructed Atlanta University Hospital – much to the dismay of her friends and colleagues. Amid her housing quest, she meets an awkwardly shy and eclectic Doula named Shana (Ross), who happens to be a nursing student at the university and is seeking a roommate – single Black female preferred.
Oblivious to its checkered past, Deja makes herself at home with Shana at Freeman Lake…unknowingly becoming a target of the latest eerie coincidence to inhabit the troubled community.
Bailey will portray the character Rose, a down on her luck single mom who resides in the ominous Freeman Lake Apartments. A product of the foster care system, Rose, a strong and resilient woman, fights to keep her son on the straight and narrow.
Carter is cast as Keisha, a fiery activist and key member of the BFM (Black Face Movement) and best friend to BFM’s Queen and subsequent leader Nefertiti (Jennifer Sears), who along with the group’s other members, reside in Freeman Lakes. When the organization is hit with an unexpected tragedy, Keisha displays the ultimate loyalty as the movement faces an uphill battle amidst strong opposition.
