“Colliding worlds of race, class and politics against the backdrop of the neoliberalisation of a contemporary UK university.”
Ben is a university professor who is struggling with the loss of his wife and child. A match with a student on a dating app leads to possible complications at work, where he is also forced to fight for his job after his grief has led to a downturn in his productivity. Matters are made more complication by the unexpected arrival of his brother-in-law, Dennis, who brings with him Radhika, a homeless woman who has run away from an unhappy marriage. Meanwhile, Latoya tries to balance her studies at Ben’s university with near full-time work, while her sister Dami gets sucked into a world of dealing drugs to students as she tries to realise her ambitions as a musician.
