A 21-year-old black man in dire need, Dark has a dilemma and can't choose between two worlds. One is the privileged University of Chicago, where elite minds mingle. The other is the South Side of Chicago, filled with violence, fear, and unrealized potential. Going to school in the first and living day by day in the latter, Dark must survive, keep his sanity, and succeed at all costs. Everyone around him will have a deep impact, able to give him wings or send him into the abyss. This unflinching, dynamic look at urban life in the tradition of Boyz N the Hood and Juice will haunt you long after the powerful final scenes.
