"S.W.A.T.S" A South West Atlanta Tale

Chris is a smart, anime-loving teen from a more stable background who’s trying to find where he fits in. He’s not soft—but he’s not built for the streets either. As his friendship with Malike deepens, Chris is pulled into a world he’s never known, forcing him to grow up fast and discover what he’s really made of.
