Hard-working waitress Dreux shares the monthly rent of $1,500 with struggling artist Alyssa and her boyfriend Keshawn. Their no-nonsense landlord, Uche, informs them that the rent hasn’t been paid and they will be forcibly removed if funds aren’t forthcoming by 6pm. It transpires that Keshawn has absconded with the cash and the two women are on the clock to raise the missing money. A blood donation centres offers one potential way to recoup stolen dollars.
