Zimera

Zimera is an ancestral spirit who has been dispatched to rescue a loved one in desperate need. Cyril Parks is a very successful stand-up comedian who has made millions laugh but he is chronically depressed and nurses a very dark secret. Cyril was raised by his Jamaican aunt (Aunt Felecie) who has taught him that a man is not supposed to cry. Unfortunately this teaches Cyril a type of toxic masculinity and only serves to further complicate his understanding of emotions and the catharcism that they bring. Also he needs help to recover from childhood traumas and other life issues which seek to overwhelm him but he lacks the language of emotional vulnerability to discuss these issues; therefore he suffers in silence. The good thing is that he has a lifelong friend Austin Blane who has experienced similar traumas and who becomes his primary support system. These traumas have yoked these two together for life or is it just the shared traumas which unite them? When Cyril loses a loved one and meets a strange woman events unfold that will change the trajectory of their lives forever. Things will never ever be the same between them.
