A Snowy Day in Oakland is centered around Latrice Monroe, a therapist who decides to end a stalled romance with her longtime, high-profile, psychiatrist, boyfriend/business partner. She moves into a predominately African-American and psychologically ignored neighborhood and navigates her practice, her relationships and her sanity with the town's biggest personalities Davis (Deon Cole) Jeanette (Loretta Devine), and Theona (Kimberly Elise). Her private practice is located in a vacant, street-front office space in the middle of a small, commercial block located across the bay in Oakland turning the neighborhood on it's emotional ear. A Snowy Day in Oakland explores meaningful themes including navigating relationships and family, entrepreneurship, as well as the importance of exploring mental health issues within the black community
