What is Dead Yard Seeds of Doom about?

Jermaine, an aspiring filmmaker, attends his great-great uncle's Dead Yard—a traditional Jamaican wake lasting through the night. Unaware of the custom forbidding eating before midnight, he indulges in his favourite patties, inadvertently summoning the irritable spirit of Uncle Carl. As children in the community fall ill with a mysterious sickness resembling tales from Jamaican folklore, Jermaine and Carl must unite to confront cursed cassava seeds and a lurking menace to protect their loved ones.
