Review
by Bob Ignizio
In
high school Bernice (LisaGay Hamilton) and Fontayne (Yolonda Ross)
were so close people said they could, “go for sisters”. Years
later, it would seem they couldn't be father apart. Bernice is a
hard-nosed parole officer who doesn't have time to listen to her
clients' excuses. She
hasn't seen Fontayne in years, the two women having long since gone
their separate ways. And then one day, Fontayne walks into Bernice's
office as a client. She's a recovering addict who got caught at the
wrong place with the wrong people, but as she explains to Bernice,
where she lives, just about everyone in the neighborhood and every
place she might go is a potential parole violation. Bernice lets her
old friend off the hook, but also lets Fontayne know that she will
ask to have her reassigned to another officer. Things don't quite go
that way, though.
