The official synopsis reads as follows:
Travis (Natey Jones) has just been released from prison and it quickly becomes apparent that everything has changed while heās been gone. His girlfriend Candice is on the up, auditioning to star in a musical; teenage daughter Kenisha is struggling in school and her relationship with her mum is tense. When Travis buys Candice her dream dress for an audition, rather than smoothing over the familyās problems, it ends up creating even more… As secrets and desires unsaid threaten to spill out, Travis is forced to re-examine who he is and how he wants to be perceived in the world.
Jones and Burke headline the film, alongside Temilola Olatunbosun.
Dionne Edwards makes her feature directorial debut, she also wrote the script.
