While her classmates are fixated on the Senior Spring Formal and who's dating whom, Aura is navigating the subtle, heavy pressures of a neighborhood that feels like it's shrinking. She's balancing the expectations of her grandmother, who sees her as the family's "way out," and the magnetic pull of the streets she calls home.
