When a Black jazz singer named Jahlia takes the stage at the White Rose Club-built as a front for Richard's crimes-Jane is forced to confront her past, her queerness, and the cost of silence. As desire blossoms and long-buried truths come to light, Jane must choose between complicity and liberation-no matter the blood price.
