Yamaye lives for the weekend, when she can go raving with her friends at The Crypt, an underground club in the industrial town on the outskirts of London.
A young woman unsure of her future, the sound is her guide – a chance to discover who she really is in the rhythms of those smoke-filled nights. In the dance-hall darkness, dub is the music of her soul, her friendships, her ancestry. When her relationship with Moose is brutally cut short, Yamaye goes on a dramatic journey of transformation where past and present collide with explosive consequences.
