Nya, an inner-city public high
school teacher, is committed to
her students but desperate to give
her only son Omari opportunities
they’ll never have. When a contro-
versial incident at his upstate pri-
vate school threatens to get him
expelled, Nya must confront his
rage and her own choices as a par-
ent. But will she be able to reach
him before a world beyond her
control pulls him away?
