It was just a minute, but it changed everything. Jemma is finally free of her abusive ex-boyfriend, Razor. All she wants now is to be a good mom to her baby daughter. But one night she decides to go out, just for a minute, to get diapers and ice cream. On the way back she witnesses the drive by shooting of a kid, Kwame, who lives in the same building as her. The driver is Razor. Jemma is terrified. If she tells anyone what she saw, they'll know she left her baby alone, and she might lose custody. But if she doesn't, Kwame's killer will go free.
