Kindling

Creator-Producers: Stephanie Alexandre and Keith Boniol

When is a stranger no longer a stranger?

Lyla is left bewildered when her best friend and roommate, Jay, suddenly decides to pack up and leave the province without an explanation. The night before they’re set to move out, two strangers with tornado-like personalities show up at their door, ready to move into their new home. Between phone calls to an irresponsible landlord, a kitchen fire, and an accidental unveiling of secrets, these pairs of strangers begin to unpack a kindredness towards each other, realising they are not as alone in their struggles as they thought.
