Struggling to cope with the loss of her 18-year old son Stephon to drug violence in the neighborhood, a grieving mother Lila (Academy-Award Nominee Viola Davis), attends a support group for mothers whose children have been murdered.

Driscoll Consolidated Independent School District), one of the first post-Brown desegregation court cases to be litigated.
