| | Synopsis
|
Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor
neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she
attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when
Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend
Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon
afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a
thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are
taking to the streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug
lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to
know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive
who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does-or does not-say
could upend her community. It could also endanger her life.
