Set It Off is a movie that’s loved by many with an emotional ride that tells us about the lives of four women—Stoney, Cleo, Frankie, and T.T.—each pushed to the edge by a world that never seems to give them a fair shot. They’re not just friends—they’re survivors, bonded by struggle, heartbreak, and the raw reality of living in a system stacked against them.

Stoney is carrying the weight of losing her parents and trying to protect her little brother, only to have him gunned down by police in a tragic case of mistaken identity. Cleo is loud, proud, and fiercely loyal, but her past keeps closing doors no matter how hard she pushes back. Frankie had a solid job at a bank, but one bad day and a humiliating run-in with the cops leave her reputation in ruins. And then there’s T.T. a young mother barely scraping by, doing everything she can for her child, yet constantly being knocked down by circumstances out of her control.
