When Sahar, a 24-year-old woman with bipolar disorder, discovers that her fiancé’s dead body has been possessed by a charming Jinn named Adam, she strikes an unlikely deal: she’ll let him stay in the decaying body if he helps solve her fiancé’s murder. A SMOKELESS FIRE explores the intersection of mental illness, folklore, and identity, offering an #ownvoices narrative inspired by my own experience with bipolar I disorder.
