In early 1970s Harlem, daughter and wife-to-be Tish (Kiki Layne) vividly recalls the passion, respect and trust that have connected her and her artist fiancé Alonzo Hunt (Stephan James). Friends since childhood, the devoted couple dream of a future together, but their plans are derailed when Fonny is arrested.
"It's the sort of cinema that feels steeped in the past, completely of the moment and timeless all at once." -Peter Travers (Rolling Stone)
