It’s summertime in Bed-Stuy “Do or Die” Brooklyn, and Kate
is feeling down in the dumps. Not only is she tired of her
raggedy, tomboy image, but she’s also missing her best
friend, Felicia, who’s away for the summer. Lonely and not
exactly getting along with her new foster mother, Lynn,
Kate so badly wants to be out and about, twirling pretty,
and partying---and maybe catching the attention of her
longtime crush, Charles. Opportunity knocks one hot summer day when fly-girl
Naleejah struts her stuff straight up to Kate and takes a
seat. Full of smiles, Naleejah tells Kate that she
remembers her from school, but Kate can’t remember ever
having such a fabulous chick trying to befriend her.
Kate’s suspicion turns to trust once Naleejah gives her a
much-needed makeover. Now a brand-new Kate suddenly has the attention of her
dream boy. But is Naleejah checking for him, too? Against
Kate’s better judgment, she ignores the warning signs, and
continues to let Naleejah lead her down a treacherous
path. Soon, what seems like a fun and exciting summer ends
up being a harsh reality check. Now Kate must decide how
to get back on the right track . . . or is it already too
late?
