Called a "perplexing renovation story", The Curse stars Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder as Whitney and Asher a husband and wife duo who have just landed their own house-flipping series called Flipanthropy. Ben Safdie's Dougie is staffed as their producer, but has secrets of his own. The show comes as the Española, New Mexico-living couple are trying to start their family, seemingly met by a supposed curse that promises to "disturb the relationship".
