Fifteen-year-old Billie has a beautiful voice, just like her namesake and idol Billie Holiday. While her father (Will Patton – Armageddon, American Honey) spends his paychecks on booze and her mother Eve (Karyn Parsons – The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) lives with her new boyfriend, Billie and her brother Nico spend their days picking scrap metal. When they befriend a boy named Malik, the siblings discover a brand new feeling of freedom and fun.
