Damaris Washington is newly pregnant and ready to play Othello in a gender-bent production directed by her childhood best friend Marcus, who also happens to be her ex-boyfriend. Playing Iago is Marcus' new white girlfriend, Shaina, who might have a crush on Damaris' white boyfriend, Brian. When her life begins to unravel in ways eerily similar to Othello's, Damaris fights for a world where Othello wins.
