DESCRIPTION:
(from Paramount+'s web site, May 2026) On Chicago's South Side, an average day finds kids prepping for school, parents heading off to work, young adults trying to make a living, and elders watching from their front porches. But in this tough neighborhood, real dangers threaten dreams daily, and the simplest decisions can have life-or-death consequences. From Emmy® winner Lena Waithe, this SHOWTIME® Original Series is a timely coming-of-age drama about a group of residents linked by coincidence but bonded by their need for connection and redemption. |
