In a women’s prison, Chess sings alone in her cell, searching for a form of escape. She and her cellmate Serena are in love. When Serena is granted parole, both women are devastated. Left in solitude, Chess reflects on her life — her crime, her daughter, her pain. With the help of Silver, a producer leading music workshops in the prison, she begins composing songs to confront her past, not knowing it might one day catch up with her.
This poetic, musical performance is a liberating incantation — a love story between Chess and Serena, and a powerful exploration of confinement and longing.
