KINFOLK CONVERSATIONS

Cecelia “CeCe” Monroe, a gifted dancer from Memphis, steps into the spotlight of New York City to accept a prestigious award that cements her rise in the world of performance. But the applause fades quickly. Her agent—and boyfriend—Ronnie urges her to shed her Southern flair to appeal to a broader audience. CeCe stands firm, refusing to compromise her roots, and the fallout sends her back to the very place that shaped her.

Back home in Memphis, a chorus of kinfolk voices rises. Aunt Birdie beams with pride, unwavering in her support. Others admire CeCe’s success but still carry the sting of betrayal—especially those who remember how she left town with Ronnie, her cousin’s boyfriend. As old wounds reopen and buried truths come to light, CeCe must navigate a tangled web of family expectations, personal integrity, and deception from her boyfriend.
