“Our new life starts tomorrow." - Kane, Scene VI When she receives
the opportunity of a lifetime, Janelle relocates to Texas and moves in
with her partner, Kane. Meanwhile, a small-town police officer’s
life is thrown into flux when the coworker he's romantically involved
with decides to leave town. When their worlds collide, Janelle
experiences firsthand how dangerous power can be. Loosely inspired by
the legacy of Sandra Bland, Graveyard Shift is an unflinching but
open-hearted look at how we navigate a world full of fear. EXPLORE THE
