Description

22-year-old Ophelia Bennett always knew she was different. Left on the doorstep as a newborn and raised by her grandmother. Ophelia has always wondered what happened to her mother. So on the day leading up to her 23rd birthday, Ophelia has had enough. She is visited by something she cannot describe, but one thing is certain. Her mother needs her.


Along with her best friend Sandra, they embark on an epic journey that takes us backwards to the transatlantic slave trade. Our duo becomes a trio. Faith is questioned, and friendships are tested. In the end, we ultimately ask one question. What does it mean to fall between?
