Henson as Janiyah Wiltkinson, a single mother struggling to make ends meet and care for her ill daughter, Aria. The plot follows Janiyah as a series of unfortunate events, including being fired from her job and evicted from her home, push her to a breaking point.

The narrative escalates into a hostage situation, with Janiyah gaining public sympathy after a livestreamed speech about her struggles.
