Up In Flames

Kinks derive from pain. Pain derives from trauma.

Unintentionally, Beyoncé had gone her whole life searching for her mother's love, that pain resulting in all of the issues she possessed. Always looking for someone to replace a mother, feel like a mother, treat her the way a mother should.

Mama takes form in a beautiful, fiery, married Onika Maraj-Henry. In an attempt to both explore herself and heal the child within her, Beyoncé takes on the challenge of navigating her own world within another woman's.

Born of two different generations, these two fall body over heels for one another, fighting tooth and nail for a way to co-exist without hurting the people who love them.
