Short description

Still grieving after the murder of her boyfriend, hairdresser Justice writes poetry to deal with the pain of her loss. Unable to get to Oakland to attend a convention because of her broken-down car, Justice gets a lift with her friend, Iesha, and Iesha's postal worker boyfriend, Chicago. Along for the ride is Chicago's co-worker, Lucky, to whom Justice grows close after some initial problems. But is she ready to open her heart again?

What's left behind the scenes

  • In the scene of the conversation with Jesse, many of Tupac Shakur's (1971-1996) lines were improvised.
  • When Justice drives in the car at the beginning of the film, damage to the shopping mall building can be seen, caused by riots that occurred during filming.
