Following an unjust incarceration lasting 16 years, Dolores Roach comes back to a transformed Washington Heights, now gentrified.

As the prospect of her recently acquired stability becomes endangered, the moniker ‘Magic Hands’ Dolores resorts to astonishing measures to ensure her survival.

“Making the book into a television show makes it feel so much more real and so much more like a real rock documentary.”
