Seventeen-year-old Noah Jackson needs to make some quick cash to provide for his baby girl. He joins his friends Asa and Bonds one night as they leave their predominantly black neighborhood for a nearly all-white neighborhood, looking for a Lexus to steal. Inexperienced thieves, the boys soon abandon their plan, only to be confronted by some local teens. Asa and Bonds escape, but Noah is viciously beaten and mocked with racial epithets. As Noah seeks legal recourse, the racism that infects his everyday life threatens to provoke him to violence.
