Slammed against a poetic backdrop of Urban America, Mr. Isaiah, a recent hire at a disciplinary boarding high school, is ready to make a difference in the lives of his six male students. But when one of his boys commits suicide he is plagued with the questions: Where do Black and Brown boys go when they die?; and what makes someone’s struggle so hard that they'd take their own life? While seeking answers to these questions, he sees the sorrows that each of his boys dance with - and is reminded of his own.
