Drama
Fresh is a 12-year-old Brooklyn boy who deals drugs, passing crack to local drug dealers before going to school. His age keeps him under the radar, and his quiet temperament keeps him out of trouble. When he can, Fresh sneaks off to play chess with his father, a half-genius drifter whom he is forbidden to see.
