Scuppernongs is a Southern Gothic drama with elements of a psychological thriller. It takes place on a scuppernong vineyard, where twin brother and sister are coming of age. Covered with scars from a childhood incident held secret from them and raised by an aunt due to their mother's psychological illness, they are desperate to escape their small minded town. A handsome stranger, Will, is hired to help with harvest, and both twins vie for his affections. This triangle leads to a surprise reveal of the dark family secret from their past that changes their lives (and the livelihood of the town).
