Writer/director/actor Nana Mensah demonstrates her remarkable talent in this self-assured and charming comedy about a Ghanaian-American woman's life that is thrown into disarray when she inherits her mother's Christian bookshop.

Doctoral student Sarah (Mensah) is weeks away from following her married boyfriend to Ohio. When her mother dies suddenly, she inherits her Christian bookshop, and finds herself back in her childhood home of the Bronx. As she struggles with funeral arrangements (for both a 'white people funeral' and a traditional Ghanaian ceremony) and tries to get rid of the shop, she beings to re-evaluate her life... and regain a connection to her culture.

A heartfelt story of grief, belonging, and self-discovery that breathes new life into the tropes of millennial comedy.
