While babysitting for a wealthy, white family on short notice, Emira is harassed by a grocery-store security guard. A bystander films the altercation, connecting the young, Black babysitter to her employers in ways she never envisioned. Taut with suspense, this fast-paced drama contemplates race and class with biting wit.
