The film follows teenager Rocks (Bukky Bakray) who fears that she and her little brother Emmanuel (D’angelou Osei Kissiedu) will be forced apart if anyone finds out they are living alone. With the help of her friends, she evades the authorities and navigates the most defining days of her life. 

Uniquely crafted by a majority all-female creative team in collaboration with mostly first-time actors, Rocks is a film about the joy, resilience and spirit of girlhood.
