Though details of the plot are still fairly scarce, we do know that the story focuses on two couples, one white and one black. According to an interview with Insider, the film will be the second in a series of thrillers that addresses what Peele calls "social demons." Much like Get Out examines race and racism, Us will center around "these innately human monsters that are woven into the fabric of how we think and how we interact." While he says the movie will follow the same tone as Get Out, it will be a completely different film and not focus on addressing race.
/Film revealed a synopsis sent out with recent test screening invites that gives more information, confirming that the movie is about a couple (Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke) who take their kids to their beach house to unwind with friends (who include Elisabeth Moss and possibly her onscreen husband, Tim Heidecker). Their night "turns to chaos when some shocking visitors arrive uninvited." Though the synopsis is still pretty vague, it also manages to be hella ominous.
