Fans of Jayne Allen's Black Girls Must Die Exhausted and Candice Carty-Williams' Queenie will rejoice at the tight writing and honesty. JC Burke catapulted straight from film school to Hollywood darling, churning out "Black trauma" films that have made her a household name3/4but at what price? When she abandons the set of her latest production to flee to her hometown Parable, Texas, JC is forced to reconsider the career that made her a superstar, as well as reexamine her deteriorating relationship with her producing partner, Hudson Pyke. A romantic connection with high school Media Technology teacher Luke Favors (dubbed The Hottie Professor in a viral social media post) alleviates a bit of the sting from her disappointments, but is Luke enough to keep JC away from Hollywood forever, or will she return to the privilege she turned her back on?
