The movie, which was written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, is a coming of age Hip Hop-oriented tale.

Within the flick, a crew of high school seniors attempt to navigate through their tough neighborhood in Inglewood, CA, but end up getting involved with some drug dealers that change their entire outlook on life.

The comedic-drama was produced by Puff Daddy, Pharrell and Forest Whitaker.
