Description


Amika Mota was a young mother, a midwife, and the daughter of a feminist icon. One night she caused a fatal crash that would separate her from her family and brand her as a criminal.  

Trapped inside prison, looking for any way out, she gets the call to join an all-female crew of incarcerated firefighters. When the alarm sounds, they drive out into the community on fire trucks as heroes – pulling bodies from crash scenes, saving lives and fighting fire. Every call brings her the chance to reclaim the world she lost.

didn't expect to be full on ugly crying while listening to this one, but here I am, making dinner for my family, contemplating how I live and how I want to die, sobbing into my diced onions, and it's got nothing to do with the onions.
