Fresh (Sean Nelson) is a 12-year-old drug dealer navigating a web of poverty, corruption and racial tension in Brooklyn, New York. When his older sister Nichole (N’Bushe Wright) falls under the spell of local kingpin Esteban (Giancarlo Esposito), Fresh calls upon the skills he learned playing chess with his father and speed-chess champion Sam (Samuel L. Jackson) and devises a complex strategy that will free both himself and his loved ones.
