"The Unsettled" traces the trials of generations of one Black family stemming from the tumultuous relationship between a mother and daughter. 1985 meets mother Ava and her young son Toussaint arriving at a Philadelphia shelter with less-than-ideal living conditions. Despite the shelter's grim offerings, Ava is determined not to return to her hometown in Alabama, where a haunted past with her mother, Dutchess, awaits. Ava's resolve to have a different relationship with her son leads her to a commune with a former lover who might bring more danger than she thought. Meanwhile, Dutchess remains in Alabama, determined to keep their town — the only thing she believes she has left after her daughter's abandonment — from falling into the hands of white ownership. Dutchess's promise to preserve her town and Ava's commitment to protect her son lead the two on a blistering spiral toward one another that will force them to confront their past in order to save the people and the places they love.
