The story

Black Power Desk at Brixton House unfolds in the heat of 1970s London, where two sisters—Celia and Dina—grapple with grief, love, and radical politics. As soul music rises and the Black Power Desk of New Scotland Yard looms large, their bond is tested by the fight for justice and community. But can love survive a revolution?
