Angela and Odessa are falling apart. (No, like they’re literally falling apart.) And the only person who can save them is Adah, a wellness guru who is shockingly still in one piece. Follow Angela, Odessa, and Adah through the desert as they search for a cure for their ailment before they get swept away completely.
Content Note: sandblasted is a dark comedy set in a dystopia where Black women are literally falling apart because of the stresses placed upon them. sandblasted also features strong language and strobe lights.
