Asha, a teenage girl from a politically involved and influential family within Jamaica, enjoys a life far removed from the island’s harsh reality. Asha’s privileged bubble pops, however, when she and her driver come across the dead body of a local street cleaner. To her, the body represents a side of Jamaica that she only sees through the skewed lens of media. Slowly but surely, Asha’s world view begins to unwind as she is thrust into deep introspection.
