At nineteen, Aya is a promising Black college student from Brooklyn
who is struggling through a difficult relationship with her
emotionally distant mother, Miriam. One winter night, Aya is shot
by a white police officer in a case of mistaken identity. Keeping
vigil by her daughter's hospital bed, Miriam remembers her own
youth: her battle for independence from her parents, her affair
with Aya's father, and the challenges of raising her daughter. But
as Miriam confronts her past -- her losses and regrets -- she
begins to heal and discovers a tentative hopefulness.
