On a three-day furlough for her mother’s funeral, Sade stays with her only cousin. Mina is also on a brief reprieve from her life on the West Coast, and the cousins, who were once so close, come together to try to make sense of grief, home, and kinship as time ticks toward Sade’s return to prison. “An abolition play or simply a play about cousins” from one of America’s most promising new playwrights.
