Meanwhile, sister Ida (Liza Colón-Zayas), busy keeping others on the right track as a counselor at a local clinic, feels the emotional pull of their long – estranged brother, leading to a life-altering discovery. And sister-in-law Serene (Daphne Rubin-Vega), making a living as a vocal coach and reliving past glories, quickly realizes that her daughter is making money in a seriously dangerous manner, sending the former pop star into fight mode to save her only child from the kind of youthful mistakes that she once made.
