In the heart of Bed Stuy, New York, a simple misunderstanding can turn dangerous for an urban teen named Ali, who struggles to navigate life amid the challenges of school, boxing, and family obligations. While he tries to stay clear of the guns and drugs that plague his neighborhood, his loyalty to his best friend Noodles and Noodles's unpredictable brother Needles pulls him into escalating trouble. As their seemingly innocent adventures lead them to a dangerous confrontation with unfriendly faces, Ali must confront the harsh realities of his environment in this gritty debut.
