This film was inspired by a murder that took place in 1992 in the Cabrini-Green housing projects: Dantrell Davis, a seven year old, was hit by a stray bullet from a local gang fight while walking to school with his mother.
Drawing from the real life tragedy, it follows two young boys in the projects as they navigate childhood. They soon find their bond challenged when tragedy shakes their community. This film explores themes of childhood innocence, the beauty and importance of friendship, and showcases black boyhood in 90s Chicago.
