When her chance of going to college on a full scholarship for basketball comes to a halt, Chip takes on the responsibility of taking care of her little sister and helping her grandmother to make ends meet.

Inez Wilson is a 19 year old biracial girl who was raised in the South Bronx along with her four sisters and little brother. With a dream to attend Spelman College and major in medicine, her life comes to standstill after a series of family issues that she can't seem to escape.

Set in the summer of 1977, when fires, crime, poverty, drug abuse and urban decay engulfed the every day residents of the South Bronx, we see how Chip and Inez overcome life's obstacles, come to terms with being gay, and fall in love for the first time.

This is a true coming of age story, and I hope you all enjoy it!

What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.

Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better.
