In BLKS, Barnes introduces us to Octavia, Imani, and June, three twentysomethings in New York City hunting for intimacy and purpose in a city that doesn't seem to care. When they need each other the most, the women rally to "resurrect their fly" in a day full of humorous and painful attempts to be heard through the noise that surrounds them.
