Description
A bag of chips is all 16-year-old Rashad is looking for at the corner bodega. Instead, he finds himself in a fist-happy confrontation with police officer Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes him for a shoplifter. The incident leaves Rashad battered and bruised, and his life forever changed. The beating is captured on video and soon makes headlines, sparking accusations of racial brutality against Officer Galluzzo. As the community debates the incident, two boys are forced to confront their own biases and loyalties: Rashad's best friend Quinn Collins, who has been raised by Officer Galluzzo since his father's death in Afghanistan, and Rashad himself. As tensions simmer and the situation escalates, both boys must face difficult decisions and consequences they had never considered before.
