Description
High achieving student media journalist Asia Bowman and her best friend Jamie have successful futures planned that include college, careers in broadcasting, and getting out of their poor, nowhere town forever. But for now, they attend a federally funded charter school focused on helping underserved students, a program run by Derek Hollis, the former Major League Baseball hero turned mayor. Asia is happy to do her part to promote the school's success and to live up to her mother's high expectations. She doesn't even mind that her mother is dating the mayor and working as an assistant in the principal's office. Yet when school resources disappear, her favorite teacher is killed, and an FBI agent accuses her mother of embezzlement, Asia's dreams for her future threaten to crumble as she hustles to stay one step ahead of the law and the Russian mob in order to keep her mother and herself alive.
