‘Queen of Soca’ follows the journey of Olivia, a singer from the slums of Trinidad who uses her talent to escape an impoverished life despite her religious mother’s determination to stop her from getting involved in soca music. As a track she records goes viral, Olivia is invited to participate in “The Greatest Show on Earth” (the biggest soca competition in the country). Will she be able to rise to the occasion and take the title from the reigning queen?
