She Wasn't Last Night follows the beautiful activist Shantel Crockett, who's slammed by drama as her relationship with Reyna (a companion 10 years her junior) begins to crumble.
To make matters worse charming player Jack (Jacqueline), is determined to make Reyna hers if only for one night.
With her jewelry making talent long abandoned and her mounting feelings of failure in her work supporting LGBTQ youth, Shantel is forced to face Reyna's despair and has to decide what kind of life she wants for herself.
Shantel’s best friend Vanessa encourages her to move on and find meaning of her own artistic expressions, and maybe even find a new love. Meanwhile, one of Shantel’s student's Afro-Dominican poet Reggie, struggles to find her own path and voice. With the help of a small community of good friends and mentors both Shantel and Reggie, learn valuable lessons they will never forget.
