Taking place in Koreatown, Little Bangladesh, and South LA in the dead heat of summer, EAST OF LA BREA highlights the vibrant stories of different communities where folks are broke, rent is high, and it’s less of a melting pot than people just melting. When Aisha's childhood friend Moises moves back to LA to open up his dream cafe, it sets Aisha on the path of evaluating her own life’s journey. Though writing is her passion, she hasn’t typed a word in ages and now is stuck working a nine-to-five at a commercial realty company. Meanwhile, her roommate Farha is all over the place, whether it be Lyft driving, flipping her parents’ old antiques for a few bucks, or maintaining her social media persona. However, all this gets pushed back out of focus, when her estranged sister comes back into her life and forces her to reconcile with the past.
