Mercury’s Wake, Series One: Before Chaos, Episode1: Things left for dead

Imani loses her father to cancer. She moves to New York City where she meets a rising Williamsburg art star. As a Greek African American woman, she reflects on her upbringing and young adult life in a world that easily combines prejudice with privilege. Things take a downward turn and Imani escapes a relationship already on the skids to join her British director friend Geoffrey in Provincetown as an assistant lighting designer on a premiere. Geoff offers Imani a fresh start.
