A gritty, provocative true-life story of three friends from the 'hood, Rameck Hunt, Sampson Davis, and George Jenkins, who made a pact in high school to find a way to go to college and then medical school.

Her deeply emotional documentary reveals the complex hope, heartache and promise of growing up Indigenous in the 21st century.
