Detroit teenager Zach, a white Jewish kid absorbed in hip-hop, falls for Nikki, his best friend’s Black cousin, after she arrives from East New York. Michael Rapaport is Zach, trying to hold onto a relationship that quickly becomes the subject of gossip, resentment, and scrutiny at school and at home. Across from him, N’Bushe Wright’s Nikki is dealing with the same attention from her own family and peers. Anthony Drazan’s 1992 drama keeps close to the couple as their romance moves through hallways, neighborhoods, and living rooms shaped by the racial lines and tensions around them.
