It’s 1996. Pooja is a teenage girl with a crush on a white boy, just like the ones in the movies she loves. But having grown up in a mostly Black and Brown neighbourhood, there is a hostile cultural divide between their friends. But, this isn’t a love story – this is a self-love story.

Chaos ensues after the estranged patriarch of the Jones family dies on their doorstep. When the paramedic who answers their 911 call tries to win over acerbic Jean Jones, his attempts are disrupted by old conflicts that come to a boil at the funeral.
