Michael Kelly is a mixed African American teenager seeking peace and belonging in a small Midwestern town. But when he falls for the police chief's traditional daughter, tensions flare -- especially with her older brother, the head of the Junior Police Cadets. Navigating school, prejudice, and his loyalty to his Latino friends, Michael tries to build a better life. Can love overcome division, or will the system win again?

A modern American tragedy told in the voice of our youth.
