Storyline
Young African American married couple Malik and Imani (Cory Hardrict and Jasmine Burke) have just moved into a predominantly-white suburban neighborhood near Atlanta, Georgia, from where Malik owns and operates a local community center.
However, their next-door neighbor happens to be a middle-aged white woman named Karen Drexler (Taryn Manning), a closeted racist who doesn't want to share the area with Malik and Imani. She will stop at absolutely nothing to drive them away, including getting her equally-racist police-officer brother Mike Wind (Roger Dorman) involved. In retaliation, the targeted new neighbors seek assistance from civil-rights attorney Charles Wright (Gregory Alan Williams). But Karen will go to any lengths, from trying to seduce Malik, to installing security cameras in front of her house, to meddling in their daily business by using the fact that she is the head of the local Homeowners Association, to getting Malik and Imani kicked out of a local restaurant, to faking being in danger to get the police involved. Will she succeed? How can she be stopped?
