Summary
  1. Shelly, a White-American actress (Alicia Hoge) and Kamia, an African-American poet-singer (Lasonya Gunter), share an apartment in Harlem, a friendship, and provide support for one another's aspiring careers. While stopping in an Arab-owned clothing shop en route to a camping trip, the women encounter picketers of the non-Black-owned business and an amateur terrorist, Hannibal, who calls himself "Mad-Man" (Jeremiah Birkett). Hannibal takes Shelly hostage inside the shop while heavily armed police surround the shop. Shelly and Hannibal make revealing exchanges inside the shop which touch upon racial stereotypes and misunderstandings. Hannibal's bitter death by the hands of the overreactive police creates a jolting twist which, in turn, deeply affects Shelley and her career plans.
