Only the living can make the world better. Live and make it better. Twelve-year-old Jerome is shot by a police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a real threat. As a ghost, he observes the devastation that's been unleashed on his family and community in the wake of what they see as an unjust and brutal killing. A story about how children and families face the complexities of today's world, and how one boy grows to understand American blackness in the aftermath of his own death.
