DANCE-HALL QUEEN Shakara is 17 years-old and a school drop-out, who can no longer stand her poor mother with her “born-again” sister as squatters in a shanty, where the single mother toils to raise them with her meager income from being nanny and chief laborer for Madam Kofo a drug baroness and socialite in the city that is split between the rich and the poor. Shakara joins a gang and flees home; then the unexpected happens.
