Set in 1964, this is the story of teens–Preach (Glynn Turman) and basketball star Cochise (Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs)–who attend Cooley Vocational High School on Chicago's North Side. With friends Willie, Pooter, and Tyrone (Maurice Leon Davis, Corin Rogers, and Joseph Carter Wilson), they express their youthful emotions by pulling harmless scams around their neighborhood. As they end their last year in high school, they overstep their bounds and are falsely accused of stealing a car after taking a joy ride with hoods. This film became the basis for TV's "What's Happening!" series.
