A student who has run away from school accuses the two headmistresses of having an affair in order to avoid being sent back to her home. The accusation leaves the two implicated women struggling to recover their professional reputations and personal lives. Under the direction of Howard University lecturer and director Raymond O. Caldwell, the reading features Devonne Bowman, Ricky Brown III, Brittany Clark, Ezinne Elele, Madison Harris, Danielle King, Tehya Merritt, Shawnee Owens, Chinna Palmer, Kayla Parker, Adanna Paul, Alexcia Thompson, Kevin Thorne II and Kyra Walker.
