So very close to adulthood, Malina is having a blast tearing shit up with a smile on her face. When slapped with a notice of expulsion from school, she is given the option to complete senior year elsewhere. This is where things get difficult. The school and foster parents Malina begrudgingly went home to, somehow contacted Tiana, Malina's estranged sister. Having absolutely no contact for years, Malina is forced under the roof and guardianship of Tiana and Adeen, Tiana's husband.. The change causes old wounds to be torn open and internalized emotions to be unleashed. Adeen finds himself stuck between desperately keeping his wife together and preventing his wife's sister from wreaking havoc on everything around.
