About the Series

FRANCES “FRANKIE” WILLIS, is a formerly incarcerated, queer protagonist whose determination to leave behind a life of poverty and violence in order to choose herself is at odds with her deep love for her daughter TASHAWN, her granddaughter, KAILA, and the pride she has in Atlanta, the place she’s lived all of her life.

When she’s unable to find meaningful employment after returning home from prison, she decides a move from the south to the Pacific Northwest holds the answer to a fresh start. She lands at a shelter in Seattle and instantly begins to find connections amongst a motley crew of characters that support her on her journey. But it is the reconnection with an old prison cellmate that proves to be the most tranformative relationship of all.

 "This show is for anyone who has ever wondered if the pursuit of freedom is worth the risk."
