Flik, a middle-class boy from Atlanta, is spending the summer with his religious grandfather in a Brooklyn housing project. With his grandfather’s preaching and the culture shock of inner-city life, Flik’s summer is a disaster—until he meets local girl Chazz, who shows him Brooklyn’s brighter side.
