When her micro-budget film unexpectedly wins a prestigious award, the long-suffering actress/director is not thrilled, for it exposes the dark secrets of the macho drug organization she used to work for, and the ruthless CEO who still might have her killed. But with the award in hand, she reveals how she saved both her life and her dream.

Synopsis:

But when our story opens at the award ceremony, the unnamed NARRATOR, 35, seated next to her ex-boss, has concerns beyond herself. First, she feels terrible about the violent ambush of one of her dearest friends. Second, she wants to protect the actors and crew members who risked everything to make this moment possible. Seated in limbo, she realizes for the first time that a career is not worth a life.

But when the film wins the coveted prize, Yoshi, the Japanese drug boss, can’t help but be moved. Amid thunderous applause, with all eyes on them, the Narrator hugs five identical Japanese men in shades- Yoshi’s way of releasing his former friend to a promising future.
