Synopsis
Dolphins and Sharks
Published by Oberon
2 Male 3 Female
Yusuf needs a break his philosophy degree from NYU isn't opening any doors, but his new job would help him pay his overdue rent
Xiomara doesn't want to settle for the marriage scenario her Dominican mother keeps pushing on her
And Isabel needs her job to put three kids through school, but despite everything still manages to keep her sense of humour
All three are employees of Harlem Office, New York, a neighbourhood copy shop where promotions are rare
And raises even rarer
And where racism is often on display
When one staff member is given the chance to move up to manager, friendships are tested and loyalty turns out to be less valuable than cold hard cash
Soon cutbacks and office politics have everyone fighting to keep their jobs
And their sanity
