For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighborhood were terrorized by a ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. A decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris) move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini. A chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Colman Domingo) exposes Anthony to the horrific true story behind Candyman. Anthony then begins to explore these macabre details in his studio, unknowingly opening a door to a past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifying wave of violence.
