Thea (Adedayo) is a successful middle-class black woman and bumps into an old boyfriend Tom (Cole) while at a party and the pair start to talk.

Although the meter is running on her taxi, Thea and Tom talk like never before, as former best friends and lovers, they start to reassess their relationship, the challenges they faced as a middle-class black woman and a working-class white man in a relationship, and the lasting consequences racism had on their relationship.

Despite starting with opposing views, the more they talk, moments from Oliver’s past come to light and cause them to change positions as they find common ground.
