About

Brian Moore is a straight-A student struggling to escape the lure of the streets in Brooklyn, NY. With no father at home and a mother who works two jobs in order to keep a roof over his head and food on the table, Brian is left alone to navigate his way toward manhood. With the help of his two lifelong friends, one thing is certain: trouble is the only thing he's going to find. Jawan White is Brian's teacher, and he knows that Brian has the potential to graduate from high school and leave the streets far behind him. But will Jawan's constant lecturing push Brian further out into the streets?…
