Sarah Paulson and Ebon Moss-Bachrach star in this dust-bowl era psychological thriller.

DFS 75th Alumni Fest (Nov 7-10)

In 1930s Oklahoma, a young mother (Sarah Paulson) haunted by the past becomes convinced that a mysterious presence in dust storms is threatening her family and takes extraordinary measures to protect them. Co-starring Ebon Moss-Bachrach ( The Bear ), this psychological thriller taps into our present anxieties around climate change and the fears over whether, when the time comes, we will be able to protect the ones we love.
