Are you the cure?
A deadly show from the makers of CHOPPED LIVER
Ally lives up in the flats. Things aren’t the best right now but she has big plans. She just wants a better life for her baby.
Ally is ready to make a life changing decision. But does she have the strength to see it through? And is her community ready to support her?
If life wasn’t complicated enough, Ally is being filmed for an explosive new documentary. One things for sure - things are about to go viral.
