CrimeDramaRomanceThriller127 min
Three freshmen arrive at Columbus University expecting a fresh start, but campus life quickly turns into a series of collisions. Malik, a recruited track star, finds that athletic promise does not solve his academic trouble or the pressure he faces as a Black student. Kristen enters school shy and inexperienced, then gets pulled into relationships and choices she is not ready to navigate. Remy drifts through the same campus isolated and angry, unable to find where he fits. As race, class, sex, and politics harden into open conflict, each student is pushed further from the version of college life they imagined, and the tension around them starts moving toward violence.
