Overview
Set against the backdrop of New York City, Butterfly follows Jericha a teenage girl navigating the quiet chaos of adolescence. At home, her mother faces mounting challenges as they struggle to stay afloat. At school, Jericha endures ridicule. And within her inner circle, cracks are beginning to form, with her closest friends making dangerous choices. Through it all, dance becomes her sanctuary. It's where she finds control, freedom, and release. But as her environment grows increasingly unstable, Jericha must face the growing tension around her, and within her, to decide if she'll retreat into silence, or find the strength to push forward.
