Toronto, 1954. The city hums with neon, jazz, and whispered secrets, but for Selina Carter, a young Black woman trapped in the polished confines of her respectable life, it is suffocating. Married to a well-meaning but distant husband, Selina carries the unspoken grief of a childless marriage and the ache of desire that goes unmet. When her car breaks down on a quiet summer evening, a stranger comes to her aid-a man of rough hands, quiet authority, and a dangerous, magnetic presence. Reed Sullivan owns a small mechanic shop in the city's shadows, and from the moment they meet, sparks fly that neither can ignore. What begins as polite gratitude quickly turns to stolen moments, lingering glances, and a hunger neither has felt before. Their affair is intoxicating, charged with erotic tension, secret laughter, and the thrill of the forbidden. In his arms, Selina discovers a passion and tenderness that her marriage has never given her; in her, Reed finds a vulnerability and longing that unsettles him entirely. But Toronto is not kind to women like Selina. The affair threatens not only her reputation but everything she has been taught to value-respectability, family, safety. And Reed, brooding and fiercely protective, demands a reckoning: a choice between the life she knows and the love that could destroy them both.

In the bitter winter of 1942 Saskatchewan, Ruby MacInnes and her husband Richard live on the edge of town, of acceptance, of survival. She's a Black woman from Halifax, disavowed for marrying a white man. He's a WWI veteran, quiet and scarred, clinging to the love that gives his life meaning. Together, they've built a fragile sanctuary in a place that barely tolerates their existence. But when a local soldier goes missing, the town's simmering prejudice erupts. Ruby becomes the target of suspicion, and the truth she carries-about what Caleb Hartley did to her-threatens to destroy everything. As Richard stands by her, the couple faces escalating threats, isolation, and the brutal weight of injustice. Their home is vandalized. Their names smeared. And the sheriff, led by Caleb's powerful father Elias, refuses to believe them. What follows is a devastating reckoning, one that costs Ruby everything and leaves the town forever changed, though never truly repentant.

But when their worlds collide, he barrels into her life like a pint-fueled hurricane with a camera and a thousand bad ideas.
