Growing up deep in the countryside of Jamaica, Shanae always thought peace lived behind the zinc fence that surrounded her grandmother's yard. But peace was a lie - behind those same fences were secrets, pain, and stories nobody dared to talk about.
When Shanae falls for Tyrique, the boy her family warned her about, everything starts to change. Love turns into rebellion, truth turns into danger, and the line between right and wrong begins to fade.
As hidden family secrets come out, Shanae must decide - will she break free from the life laid out for her, or stay trapped behind the fence like everyone else?
A raw Jamaican story about love, struggle, and finding freedom where the world least expects it.
