From the Academy Award-winning director of Moonlight comes a story about love persisting in the face of racial oppression and injustice. In early 1970s Harlem, nineteen-year-old Tish is in love with Fonny, a young sculptor and the father of her unborn child. When Fonny is falsely accused of rape and imprisoned, Tish and their families race to clear his name before the baby is born.
