I was going to forge my own destiny.

After serving three years in prison, Aisha sets out on a journey of self-healing, determined to cure her shoplifting
addiction and leave old habits behind.

But everything changes when she meets V, and her admiration quickly turns into obsession. If Aisha truly wants a fresh start, she'll need a new identity, status and security.

This time, she's stealing a life.

A poignant one-woman play, direct from Soho Writers' Lab, exploring rehabilitation, wealth disparity and how jealousy festers in the absence of love.
