Its 2013 and another young unarmed black man has been fatally shot by a white cop. The surrounding community has been shaken by this tragedy they cant escape. It's in their neighborhood, at their job, on the TV screen and controlling their lives. With rising tensions and emotions running wild, it's a race against time before their lives collide.
