  • Summary

  • Brandon and Justine have just moved into their new house, an idyllic Craftsman bungalow in a picture-perfect enclave of East Los Angeles. Brandon has a new dream-job in gaming, Justine is pregnant with their first child, and those cold Philly winters are behind them. Seemingly everything is perfect…

    …Except what lies beneath the house could destroy it all.

    As Brandon (Lamorne Morris) and Justine (Kylie Bunbury) try their best to fit in and make their new home work, jarring disturbances coming from the walls, awful phony neighbors, and an always-around homeless man named Manny (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), bring up old and new traumas for the couple while pushing their marriage and future plans to a breaking point.

    When what’s beneath the floorboards is revealed and the picturesque façade of suburban life is stripped bare, the cracks in the foundation can’t be ignored. Possession takes audiences on a harrowing journey into the dark realities of middle-class life, prejudice, and a system rigged.

    This is an AT WILL MEDIA production.

Gripping till the end!

Loved this until the abrupt end with no real explanation of the outcome, left me wanting more.

I was shocked that adverse possession was a thing!

Loved the atmospheric nature of the episodes and the gradual revealing of the character’s true nature

Good story, weirdly racist

Very confused by the racism.. good storyline but could have been so much more if they had set aside the black/ white aspects!

Lacks a solid ending

I really enjoyed this podcast/audiobook - the performance was outstanding! The plot was okay, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't a supernatural thriller but pleasantly surprised with the storyline. However, the ending did annoy me as it felt unfinished... Unless this was supposed to happen and there will be a part 2? Who knows!

Good

I feel I should say I’m a white woman from the UK, as I’ve read the other reviews, and some have said the story was stereotypical. I don’t know what it’s like to live in the USA, or as a black person, so I’m not even commenting on that.
The story took a turn I wasn’t expecting, but like others have said, the end part lets it down, felt rushed, and unsure to whether my take on it, was what the writers intended.
A good listen, and well acted.

Good Listen

Great performance from the cast. Story was interesting and a good listen, had me hooked and listened back to back. Ending felt a little unfinished and wanted more, however I would definitely recommend this and look out for more from the cast and writers.

Knowing Your Rights and How to FIGHT BACK

The main character is Black and refers to White People, as "those people"

In my opinion this book portrays RACISM and INJUSTICES. It was an honest listen but quite uncomfortable in places. But then, isn't that life!
