A grieving protégée who has slipped into her famous lover's life, awakens a hungering presence and must choose whether to be adored, possessed, or free. Set in Miami's art world. The New Ms. Carter follows Jolene, a former "personal concierge," after she's inherited Beth Carter's name, home, and foundation. Through charged rituals and a volatile entanglement with a younger man, she stirs a force that blurs grief, worship, and desire. As Beth's presence (or its echo) reenters the house and an impossible, body-changing "pregnancy" takes hold, the boundaries between lover, goddess, and ghost collapse. The penthouse, the studio, and Jolene's own skin become contested ground where devotion curdles into control, and the woman who remade herself as "Ms. Carter" must decide what she's willing to surrender to keep power, and what it would cost to take herself back.
