When the video of Emira unearths someone from Alix's past, both women find themselves on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know about themselves, and each other. At twenty-five, she is about to lose her health insurance and has no idea what to do with her life.
But Emira herself is aimless, broke, and wary of Alix's desire to help. A small crowd gathers, a bystander films everything, and Emira is furious and humiliated. The store's security guard, seeing a young black woman out late with a white child, accuses Emira of kidnapping two-year-old Briar. So she is shocked when her babysitter, Emira Tucker, is confronted while watching the Chamberlains' toddler one night, walking the aisles of their local high-end supermarket. Alix Chamberlain is a woman who gets what she wants and has made a living, with her confidence-driven brand, showing other women how to do the same.
