"Every shut eye ain't sleep, every goodbye ain't gone and what's done in the dark always comes to light."
Mama Ella's final words were a warning that unsettled Karina-a heavy prophecy impossible to ignore. A week later, Candace showed up at the funeral.
After their grandmother's death, estranged sisters Candace and Karina, burdened by years of silence, hurt, and everything they've never said, inch toward reconciliation. Yet what could be a simple reunion becomes something far more complicated as old tensions flare and long-shadowed truths edge into the light.
Grief forces proximity.
But it's the past-restless, unresolved, and insistent-that forces confrontation and demands acknowledgment.
As pieces of their family family history shift into place, Candace and Karina are pushed to face:
- the lies they leaned on,
- the identities they created to survive,
- the choices whose consequences still echo,
- and the complicated terrain of forgiveness and accountability.
