Drama95 min
When a young basketball star is unintentionally shot by police just as a scholarship seems ready to carry him out of the neighborhood, the fallout spreads from the street to the courtroom and through the wider community. Laurence Fishburne, in his screen debut, appears alongside Tierre Turner and NBA player Jamaal Wilkes in a story shaped by grief, anger, and the pressures placed on the people left behind. Moses Gunn and Rosalind Cash are among the adults drawn into the personal and political repercussions of a killing that no one can easily contain.
