A fter Philly teenager Alexis Duncan is injured in a

gang shooting, her dreams of a college scholarship

and pro basketball career vanish in an instant. To

avoid becoming another Black teen trapped in her poverty-stricken
neighborhood, she shifts her focus to the school’s STEM team, a

group of nerds seeking their own college scholarships.
Academics have never been her thing, but Alexis is freshly
motivated by Aamani Chakrabarti, the new Indian student who

becomes her mentor (and crush?). Alexis begins to see herself as so
much more than an athlete. But just as her future starts to reform,
Alexis’s own doubts and old loyalties pull her back into harm’s way.
