ROOTED
SYNOPSIS
In the small town of Millersville, plant researcher and YouTuber Emery Harris lives alone in a house in a tree named Mabel surrounded by plants that, other than her overbearing sister Hazel, are her only source of conversation. When Emery’s calm and quiet is disrupted by a massive and growing crowd of YouTube channel devotees singing to her—their botanical, new-age messiah—she is forced to look down from the branches and face the outside world. This warm-hearted comedy digs into the power of plants and the intriguing, human, and often hilarious idiosyncrasies of people.
EMERY HARRIS: 40s-60s. Lives in a treehouse. Uses a walker to get around. Wears a gardening hat and glasses. She’s performing scientific experiments on the consciousness of plants. Plants make sense. People are confusing. And loud. And hard to read. And sometimes they touch you which is awful. So much safer to be alone with her plants.
HAZEL: Emery’s older sister. She’s been a waitress at the Millerville Diner since she was 14, taken care of Emery since childhood. Frustrated and powerless. She could have done so much with her life. Is it too late?
LUANNE: Early 20s. Incredibly sweet and guileless. Hungry for joy, for a tribe, for something larger to believe in.
