Hatima Parker is an African-American teenage girl living on the mean streets of South Central Los Angeles. Life in the hood is always tough but life produces more obstacles when a man named Rodney King is beaten by the LAPD and a Korean woman murders an African-American teenage girl named Latasha Harlins.
Hatima has dreams of becoming a Marine and an Africanist and her goals cause her to question the world she lives in. She's not sure if she wants to pursue a career with the US Armed Forces as that could easily lead to a career in law enforcement.
She also starts a relationship with a Korean teenage boy named Joshua Yang. But since racial tensions are high between African-Americans and Korean-Americans, there are many people against the biracial couple being together.
Hatima learns the world is far from perfect and throughout 1991 and 1992, she learns how to take a stand against a world that often chooses hatred over love.
