Days before Zahra Robinson's older brother Derrick goes missing, she meets Sammie, an outspoken Trini-American teenager who reminds Zahra of her brother. Since she was young, Zahra has heard the voices of her ancestors, and when she realizes Sammie can hear them too, they must figure out together why these spirits haunt them and what exactly they could be trying to tell them. As both women attempt to come of age in their own ways, they have to deal with their dysfunctional family relationships, their racial identities, and how they can stay true to themselves while also fitting into the confines of society.
