Pulled from Jamaican folklore, DUPPY is a horror-driven meditation on the displacement of diaspora through the eyes of a man grappling with who he is in the world. When a disturbing occurrence befalls a young man packing up a shuttered bookstore on Eglinton West, or as it's better known to the people of Toronto, the neighborhood of Little Jamaica, he comes face to face with a terror greater than anything he's ever experienced.

Toronto, 1989. Five years ago Leslie and Reuben were inseparable best friends - until a toxic party lifestyle tore their friendship apart. Now, when their city is overrun by a deadly new drug epidemic and Reuben's kid brother is kidnapped, that same lifestyle is their only shot at staying alive.
